A message is a piece of information, news, request, etc.
sent to somebody in writing, speech, by
telephone, etc. Telephone is the quickest means of sending a message. Sometimes it so
happens that a message is received on telephone, but the person for whom the message is
meant is not at hand. So someone else has to receive it. And if he himself has to go out, he has
to leave in writing the message for the person for whom it is meant.
Always Remember :
(a) Address need not be given in a written message.
(b) Salutation should be very brief (e.g. Dear Uncle).
(c) Date and time of penning down the message should be given.
(d) Mention Clearly the name of the person from whom the message was received.
(e) Only important points should be written.
(f)The language used should be very clear and comprehensible.
(g) Nothing should be added of your own.
