Reviewing CIM

When you receive an information memorandum and your manager asks you to provide your POV (by email), what do you typically provide?

Trying to understand the focus points (e.g. investment thesis, financials, diligence items, etc) you would emphasis at this stage as well as an efficient structure of such an overview. 

Would appreciate anonymised examples, if possible!
