A message is a short, informal piece of writing
conveying information received over the telephone,
public address system or in person, to a person for
whom the information was intended but who was not at
hand to receive the information.
Points to remember: While writing the body of the
message, the following points have to be kept in mind:
1. Only the most important details should be written.
2. No new information should be added.
3. Grammatically correct sentences should be used.
4. Indirect or reported speech should be used.
5. The message should be presented within a box.
The word limit for a message is 50 words (only
the words in the body of the notice are counted).

person said.
