Message Writing Format & Examples

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.
