In this case, there is no need for an introduction or conclusion. Many memos will have a more complicated message which needs to be broken up into several body paragraphs. A memo with complicated ideas should be organized like a long letter, with an introduction, some body paragraphs, and a conclusion. T.S. Light Sets Manufacturing Co., Ltd.
