Everything you type stays on this device. The draft is saved in this browser only, the PDF and Word files are built here, and nothing is uploaded, logged or sent anywhere.
Letterhead
Every line is yours to set
A seal you upload replaces the default one and stays in this browser, the same as everything else you type here.
Format
AFH 33-337 — Times New Roman, 12 ptThe letterhead is set in Copperplate Gothic Bold and the face travels inside the page, so the preview, the PDF and the print view all render it the same on any machine. The Word export names the font instead of carrying it, so Word uses your installed copy.
Memorandum
Body
numbered paragraphs, auto-numbered in the outputOne idea per paragraph. Use + sub-paragraph to subdivide: 1. → a. → (1) → (a), each a quarter inch further in.
Below the signature
attachments · courtesy copies · distributionWhichever you use first begins on the third line below the duty title; each one after it on the second line below the one before. Leave a list empty and it is not printed.
Signature block
The name prints shouted with a middle initial, whichever way you type it — “Smith, John Daniel” and “John Daniel Smith” both come out JOHN D. SMITH.
Indorsements

This tool formats what you write. It does not decide whether a letter is warranted, whether the facts support it, or whether the policy it cites is current — official guidance governs.

updates as you type1 page1. Place "MEMORANDUM FOR" on the second line below the date. Leave two spaces between "MEMORANDUM FOR" and the recipient's office symbol. If there are multiple recipients, two or three office symbols may be placed on each line aligned under the entries on the first line. If there are numerous recipients, type "DISTRIBUTION" after "MEMORANDUM FOR" and use a "DISTRIBUTION" element below the signature block.
2. Place "FROM:" on the second line below the "MEMORANDUM FOR" line. Leave two spaces between the colon in "FROM:" and the originator's office symbol. The "FROM:" element contains the full mailing address of the originator's office unless the mailing address is in the header or if all the recipients are located in the same installation as the originator.
3. Place "SUBJECT:" in uppercase letters on the second line below the last line of the FROM element. Leave two spaces between the colon in "SUBJECT:" and the subject. Capitalize the first letter of each word except articles, prepositions, and conjunctions (this is sometimes referred to as "title case"). Be clear and concise.
4. Body text begins on the second line below the last line in the subject element and is flush with the left margin. Number or letter each body text paragraph and subparagraph according to the format for subdividing paragraphs in official memorandums presented in the Tongue and Quill. When a memorandum is subdivided, the number of levels used should be relative to the length of the memorandum.
5. Follow the spacing guidance between the text, signature block, attachment element, courtesy copy element, and distribution lists carefully. The signature block starts on the fifth line below the body text. Never separate the text from the signature block: the signature page must include body text above the signature block. The first element below the signature block begins on the third line below the last line of the duty title.
