How should addressees be listed relative to the colon?

• A. Immediately after the colon on the same line
• B. Two spaces to the right of the colon, one per line
• C. Indented by two spaces for each line
• D. On a single line separated by commas

Answer: (B)

In formal memo formatting, the addressees come after the colon and are listed one per line, with a uniform two-space offset to the right of the colon. This setup clearly separates the recipient names, making each individual easy to read and ensuring the list sits neatly under the To header. For example:

To: Jane Smith

John Doe

Alex Brown

This approach keeps the addressees distinct, legible in print and digital formats, and avoids crowding names onto a single line or mixing names with punctuation.
