Respected Sir,
I am happy to inform you that I got selected as the Probationary Officer in Indian Bank, Chennai. I shall get Rs.25,000 as a basic pay.
I was your student (M.A., English) last year and it is my duty to offer my heartfelt thanks to you and other faculty members of our department. You have taken pains to mould our habits, characters and make us good citizens. The discipline that we learnt in the classroom and the playground really guide us. Your words of advice and encouragement light our path in life. I will never forget your effort in making us converse in English inside our college campus. We can never forget your kindness and interest in building up our career. I have no words to express my thanks for all your kindness.
Sattur Your most obedient pupil

7. MEMO WRITING
A memorandum or memo for short is a means of conveying information within an organization or a company. It is different from a letter which is meant for persons outside the organization.
A MEMO is written in a simple matter - of - fact language. It has direct appeal and is written in an unemotional tone. It maintains cordial relation among the employees.
The function of a memo is to establish accountability / responsibility. Memo forms a permanent record of office information and decisions, which can be referred at later date. To convey some official information to a person in the office without calling him, the authorities can have the choice of memo writing.
It is meant for the following three purposes:

1. 
   issued to a person / persons who is / are at fault and pulled up for his / her / their acts of commission or omission.
   
2. 
   to fix the responsibility on the employee / employees who has / have gone wrong in the execution of an official work.
   
3. 
   to convey some official information to the workers in the office without calling them.
   

In some companies, a memo has a specific protocol and format in a printed form. If there is no such form, you can choose your own format. The word “MEMO” comes from the Latin Memorandum, ‘a thing which must be remembered’.
