hi,

at the end of an email or a memo, do we need to write ' Regards and my name' ?

In exam report of old exam paper, there are no ' Regards and my name' at the end of an eamil or memo.

However, in recent paper, there are ' Regards and my name' at the end of an eamil or memo.
 
It is good practice to sign off. Depending on the audience and formality of the memo/e-mail, a simple "Regards, Jim" is sufficient.
 
It can be left off on the grounds that sender and recipient will be in the headers. But I know some people never read in practise who its from and expect the 'sign-off' to be there.

Generally adds for a more friendly image particularly if its to a peer rather than someone far more senior.
 
"It can be left off on the grounds that sender and recipient will be in the headers" - true - but be careful. This is also the case for a formal letter and you would always be expected to sign off a formal letter.
 
In real life, I tend to use a sign-off in an e-mail, but not in a memo, as the memo is frequently from more than one sender.

For the exam though I think it will be safer to end with the sign-off (right tone though).
