Letter vs Memo

I am going to bite the bullet and put together a proposal to create an associate director level position within my team and of course, recomend that I be promoted to it from my current role as assistant director.

The one issue I am debating is whether to write it in memo or letter format. 
My draft seems pretty long already.

I have included the following:

I. Thanks for the opportunity to work in the team/institution.
II. Accomplishments in the last 2 years that I have been there.
III. Recomendation for the new role, which also definies the advantages to the team and department as a whole; new roles tasks and responsibilities that the role can additionally take on.
IV. Recomendation to place me in the role given my current and previous professional background.
V. Thanks and appreciation to thier consideration of my recomendations and request.

Last question for now... is it strange that I want to recomend the creation of 2 associate director level roles? There are 2 key areas we focus on and the division would allow for greater focus, yet, I fear it would be seen as a division within the team. 

Thanks again! I'll try to check in incase there are follow up questions.

Re: Letter vs Memo

  • Parts I and V sound more like a letter to me.

    I don't think it's strange. You can always propose it and use it as a springboard for discussion at your review.

  • Hi, you should firstly write in a letter format. Secondly the recommendation for the post of associate director should be subtle including you. I am not sure of recommending two posts for associate directors. Usually there is only 1 associate director.
