official circular
Robb's "Diccionario de Términos Legales" defines "oficio" as "official letter." Same for Marina Orellana's "Glosario Internacional." True, Marina is Chilean. But I've always heard it used to mean a very formual communication.

: Hi, Henry! I think 'Oficio' means much more than a simple 'Memo' if that is for Chile.

Thanks, Sandra, but no matter how serious, and even from Chile, we still call it a "Memo" in the USA.
