    「memo」是英文裡「公司／組織內部的短短正式通知」——寫給同事、老師辦公室、社團幹部，用來提醒會議、規則或新消息。How can we think of memo? 核心畫面可以想成「同一間機構裡，留著書面紀錄的短紙條」：send / write a memo、a memo to / from someone 都指向這個畫面。跟 note（口語短條、哪裡都能留）、letter（多半寄到外面）、email（電子的，也可能寄到外面）容易搞混——memo 強調「內部＋正式一點」。

可以想成：在同一家公司內部傳的一張短箋——沒有問候、沒有寒暄，只有給誰、關於什麼、重點是什麼。它是 memorandum 的縮寫，而且天生就該短：存在的目的就是把一件事白紙黑字交代清楚。
