Air Force Memo For Record Format
The memorandum for record (commonly referred to as Memo for Record, MR, or MFR) is used as an informal, in-house document. It records information that is usually not recorded in writing (i.e., phone calls or meeting summaries) and passes it on to others. People working together generally pass information back and forth verbally but sometimes it needs to be recorded and filed for future reference. A Memo for Record is perfect for this purpose. In addition, the informal format required by the MFR makes it the appropriate method for documenting day-to-day work center actions.
Type or hand write the Memo for Record on plain bond paper or squadron letterhead in the following format. Use 1-inch margins all around and number the paragraphs if there is more than one. If there's only one paragraph as is often the case, don't number the paragraph. A full signature block is not necessary but the MFR should be signed. See the template and MFR example in the Tounge and Quill for more information.
