Distinguish between formal and informal reports


A formal report is carefully structured; it is logically organized and objective, contains much detail, and is written in a style that tends to eliminate such elements as personal pronouns. An informal report is usually a short message written in natural or personal language. An internal memo generally can be described as an informal report.
