AMS Simplified

 Administrative management society of the US

has suggested this style. All lines begin flush

with the left margin. Here you omit salutation

and complimentary close. It is modern and

time saving format. It uses a subject line in

place of salutation. Name should be used in

the first line of the first paragraph.

Memorandum (Memos).

Letters are used inter-organization, whereas memos travel within

an organization. A memo resembles with AMS simplified format

in that it does not use salutation and complimentary close. It

provides a rapid and convenient means of communication

between employees within the same organization.

Memos provide an effective and major medium for internal

written communication; some companies prefer using colored

paper to distinguish them from other business papers. Its

heading includes to, from, date, and subject, heading may be of

two kinds.
