internal memo
Private company message
An internal memo is an official written communication circulated within an organization rather than sent to outside parties.
Memos typically announce policies, summarize meetings, or convey information that needs documentation: The internal memo warned staff about upcoming layoffs.
The format suggests formality and a paper trail, even when distributed electronically.
