In a short sense, memo is a written message from one person to another person within the exact same company.

It is typically either a reminder of the importance of some particular thing (e.g., renewed efforts in customer service) or a request to take specific action (e.g., be at a team meeting Monday at 2pm to discuss something specific.) It is a piece of business communication, typically aimed at a specific audience (like members of your unit or team). A memorandum (or “memo”) is a (usually) short piece of writing designed for communication within an organization.
