[Tex/LaTex] Document Class for Briefing Notes

document-classesdocumentclass-writing

I was wondering whether there was a document class for briefing notes/memos in LaTeX. If there is not any what is the easiest way of making my own?

PS: Sorry, I should have given an example. Here are a few (PDF): http://writingforresults.net/Acro_3/templates.pdf more specifically but I need something like the one on page A-25 of the link. Only the first page is the problem, it should have the following attributes:

  1. First line: "Memorandum to XXXX", where XXXX depends on the content.

  2. Title: centered with the last line underlined.

  3. Below title produce "For XXXX", where XXXX depends on the content.

  4. Then comes "Summary", it can not exceed the first page, it should be in a box, with "Summary" centered inside the box on the first line.

texMemo is a dedicated class for writing memos. Here's an example:

\documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{texMemo}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\memoto{Donald E. Knuth}
\memofrom{TeX Stack Exchange}
\memosubject{Your honorary membership to TeX.SX}
\memodate{\today}
\logo{\includegraphics[width=0.3\textwidth]{texsx}}
\begin{document}
\maketitle
\noindent
We all are glad to welcome you as a honorary member of our site. 
\end{document}

Since memos are very similar to letters, you could use a letter class and customize it as desired. Have a look at the corresponding TeX catalogue section for a list of classes and packages:
