MESSAGES WRITING
When you were not at home, your friend called and informed your sister about the cancellation of a plan for the next day. So, your sister will leave you a message before going out to inform you about your friend’s call.
Messages can be passed through different mediums, be it phones, texts, or emails. But for school students, a generic form of message writing is included under the English syllabus. For this type of writing, they get to learn about retrieving and interpreting information through the conversation given. Then, they are taught about writing the basic inputs into a well-drafted format. Message Writing | Message Writing Format, Examples and How to Write a Message?

TIME– Time can be written both on the left and right sides of the message. However, it is preferable for you to mention it on the right side in order to show a wise usage of space.
SALUTATIONS- Before writing the main content (body) of the message, it is important to address the reader. It helps in avoiding ambiguity and appears to be polite.
BODY– It is the main content of the message wherein you provide all the information that needs to be conveyed to the person you are unable to contact. It is important to stick only to vital information and keep the body of the message short and crisp. Avoid using long sentences.
