Assessment. Computer forensic examiners should assess digital evidence thoroughly with respect to the scope of the case to determine the course of action to take.

Acquisition. Digital evidence, by its very nature, is fragile and can be altered, damaged, or destroyed by improper handling or examination. Examination is best conducted on a copy of the original evidence. The original evidence should be acquired in a manner that protects and preserves the integrity of the evidence.

Examination. The purpose of the examination process is to extract and analyze digital evi­dence. Extraction refers to the recovery of data from its media. Analysis refers to the inter­pretation of the recovered data and putting it in a logical and useful format.

Documenting and reporting. Actions and observations should be documented through­out the forensic processing of evidence. This will conclude with the preparation of a written report of the findings.

• The tone of a memo is generally friendly as it is a communication between colleagues.

• Keep the memo concise and to the point.

• If necessary, introduce the reason for the memo with a short paragraph.

• Use bullet points to explain the most important steps in a process.

• Use a short thank you to finish the memo. This need not be as formal as in a written letter.
