Message Writing
What is a Message?
A message is a short record of information noted for conveying it to the person whom it is for and who is not present at the moment to receive it. The aim of a message is to convey information to its owner as soon as he or she is back. Therefore, it is usually written on a small slip of paper and left at a place easily visible to him or her.

Tips for Writing a Message
- A message should be written in less than fifty words. So, keep it brief and to the point.
- Practise writing messages focusing on conveying more information with few words.
- While cutting down words, important information such as date and time when the message is noted should not be missed.
- Ensure easy understanding of the message by avoiding grammatical errors and spelling mistakes.
- Use simple or compound sentences instead of complex ones where possible.
