Writing on / at the memo

Question

Can I say,(a) He is writing (an important appointment on) a memo.(b) He is writing notes /a note on the memo. (c) He is writing on /at a memo.

Doctor D · Accepted Answer

What exactly do you want to say? None of the three versions are clear. (A memo, or memorandum, is a brief, written reminder or announcement.)

a. You could say: He is writing a memo about an important appointment. Or: His memo describes an important appointment. (One memo is being written, while the other has already been written.)

b) If you make notes on a memo, you are writing upon an existing piece of paper. If you are making notes about a memo, you are writing down reminders for yourself about what was said in a memo.

c. He is writing a memo. (This is the simpliest way to say it.)

Let me know if any of this works for you.
