When I issue a brief I generally do it first through an informal chat over the phone, and then clarify it in writing - just a few paragraphs in an email. Maybe if I'm using a new designer I might go into a bit more detail and give them some sort of paper of what I require. When I get briefs in college I get several pages of requirements to meet, milestone deadlines etc. A lot of the time it is superfluous but it's still useful to learn in a more formal structured way.

It's a good idea for everyone to look at both examples I think as I'm sure it'll be different depending on where you are who you're working with. Thanks for the mention :) .
