TOPIC VII. MEMORANDA
Memorandum (pi. memoranda, or memorandums) is a less frequently used form of a
diplomatic document, and it is used mostly to record facts, decisions or opinions. Usually a
memorandum describes the factual or legal aspect of a major problem, especially something to
be done or acted upon in future. Each memorandum normally deals with one subject only.
The memorandum may contain a substantial background on the historical roots of a problem
and its development, on the position of the sides, the argumentation and the proposals of the
sender. As compared to notes, the memorandums have neither address nor concluding com-
pliments.
This is often a detailed statement of facts, and of arguments based thereon, record of an
agreement that has been reached but not yet formally drawn up.
It does not differ essentially, from a note, except that it does not begin and end with a formula
of courtesy, need not be signed, but it may be convenient to deliver it by means of a short covering
note.
