Ever wanted to send a note between characters, but didn't want to start a full owl mail thread? Now you can!
You can send interdepartmental memos (e.g. within a Ministry, Hospital, or other business), or short notes between family and friends ("Meet you at The Three Broomsticks this Saturday"), or maybe your students have some gossip! However minor your memo, you can post it here in this topic -- you can also send howlers. The main difference between sending a "memo" and starting an owl mail thread is that a memo is not intended to be a continued or lengthy exchange between two characters. Feel free to tag relevant characters in your memo!
Memos must take place in the current playtime.
Please use the following form for memos and post in this thread (do not start a new topic in the Owl Mail board):

Dear Mr. Willbond,
I hope you are doing well in post Hogwarts career things at the Ministry, I hope it is okay that I am writing you at work.
I wanted to ask your advice as a former Gryffindor Prefect, I don't know if you have heard but I am this years Gryffindor prefect which of course I take very seriously, but I may have challenged a classmate to a duel despite not being in the dueling club and also during class I got a detention. I have two questions,
one, will I be fired for this?
two, how do I win a duel ?
I have also written to former head boy Henry Murphy on this but I think he has never gotten a detention in his life, anyway

Status: Scribbled on the back of Killian's note, sloppy handwriting, tea stain on one corner.
Hey buddy,
Just found this under my Potter bobblehead, sorry for the massive delay. I'm guessing by now you've either had your duel and detention or are expelled and doing the study at home thing. Just kidding! They wouldn't expel you over something like that I don't think.
But I'm happy to help if you need any advice in the future. I taught Murphy everything he knows about being a prefect so it's good that you're coming to the source.
It seems like you got a good head on your shoulders so if you ever get in the situation again, here's my advice:
1 - They don't fire prefects at all pretty much so no worries there. Well, I was technically canned after one year, but I wouldn't say that's the usual.
2 - Make sure you know a few good curses and hexes, ones that'll be embarrassing like the pimple jinx or the sprouting antlers one are always good. Make the other person think twice about dueling you. Then again I haven't exactly ever won a duel except with my younger brother (best bat bogey hex I've ever done and it was glorious) but I can ask an Auror round here if you need more tidbits.
Needless to say, stick to your guns and don't let bullies push you around. If you need me to drop by and throw my weight around, happy to do so.
Hang in there,
Danny
PS - Please destroy this after reading it.

Ros!
Lovely to hear from you. Dave and I miss you both and lunch sounds wonderful. How about Thursday at 13:00? I know a nice dog-friendly press. It's not far from the publishing house, so meet us there.
You are more than welcome to ask but I think it's too early in the day for horror stories.
See you soon,
Will

i am as appalled as you are. truly i doubt his ears were boxed enough as a child, have at it. drink and pub are a go. explosions were inconvenient but no one is injured. i realize i probably should have led with that. see you in a bit! p.s be prepared to talk about c and not skimp on the glorious details! xoxo ros

Hi all,
As you are aware Ophelia is leaving us and if you would like to contribute some thoughts, well wishes or abuse related to her leaving the DMGAS, please feel free to sign the card on Janet’s desk prior to the 16th of July. Embarrassing stories are always appreciated.
Further to that if you feel so inclined I have got the short straw in organising her leaving gift. If you want to contribute please get donations to me by the 11th of July. It will be used to get her some vouchers to keep up with her expensive clothes shopping habit….
Thanks
Gareth

Dear Minerva,
I trust this owl post finds you in good health and the familiar hustle and bustle of Hogwarts. Here I am, scribbling away from the dreary confines of Azkaban, and I couldn't help but think about the potions classes I'll be missing out on next month. I know, I know – odd thing to be concerned about from someone in my current predicament, right? But you've got to admit, my lessons were always a little more interesting than the average concoctions class.
Now, I'm not one to beat around the whomping willow. I realize that my abrupt arrest likely leaves you in a bit of a lurch regarding the need to fill the Potions position at the last minute before the new school year. My apologies for any inconvenience. The point is, I liked teaching, and I daresay those students of yours might miss my unconventional methods more than they'd care to admit. Hogwarts was a home away from home, and I can't bear the thought of my cauldrons gathering dust while some poor soul drones on about the proper way to stir a potion.
I'm fully aware that my situation is, shall we say, a bit delicate. The Ministry's idea of a "teacher's lounge" is more of a cell block, and I wouldn't dare ask for anything less than a full-time Auror escort and a wand-free existence. I get it; I'm a liability. But, Minerva, I also happen to believe I'm one of the most qualified witches for the job. Let's face it, Professor, my charm and wit are unmatched, and the students loved my classes. Sure, they thought I was someone else, but hey, details. The point is, Hogwarts needs me, and I can't stand the thought of leaving my cauldrons unattended.
I'm not asking for a Get Out of Azkaban Free card, but a chance to contribute from behind bars, so to speak. Can we chat about this? Maybe over some firewhiskey in a more cheerful setting than these damp and gloomy walls?
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely yours,
(https://txt.1001fonts.net/img/txt/dHRmLjQwLmZmZmZmZi5RMkZ0WlhKNWJpQk1MaUJYYUdsMFpRLjA/tell-us-pangaia.regular.webp)

Will,
I have been meaning to write to you for some time, but life has been busy as of late — it feels like a lot of time and none at all has passed since Paris.
I wanted to let you know I have taken up a position at the hospital in London, and wondered if you might want to meet? I am bound to a schedule now but I will try to work around any commitments you have.
Bien cordialement,
Nice

Berry Nice,
I'll admit, I was surprised to receive your letter but I agree, it has been a while. Congratulations on your new job! I remember once upon a time you said you hated the place, so I do hope you've changed your mind and are settling in well.
How about Tuesday at 13:00? The Fox & Ivy, just off Regents Park. They serve a wonderful ham and cheese butty. Don't worry about moving your schedule, I've cancelled my meetings all day.
Looking forward to seeing you,
Will x
