On a check and on the last line of it you see a word "Memo". What does it mean? And what do people write in front of it?

'Memo' indicates a small area where you can write a short reminder to yourself or to the recipient about the purpose of the check, the invoice number which it is paying, etc-- or anything you wish to note, actually.
