Memo in email form. State the question/issue, provide a full but brief answer up front, then lay out the work. If it’s a long one, you can provide a summary of the main points up front and then say “for an extended analysis of xyz, see below” “* * *”.

And everything is in bullet points, not paragraph form, with a lot of white space between lines.
