One of the responsibilities of staff members working in various levels of government is writing briefing memos for policy makers, who use the memos to educate themselves about issues and to guide them in forming protocols, procedures and laws. A briefing memo is a concise summary of an issue or case that presents a call for action to the reader. A successful memo persuades the reader to act by providing concrete evidence that is easy to understand and evaluate.
