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.

- While cutting down words, important information like date and time when the message is noted and 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.

Remember to book a refill for gas today itself. The one currently in use will get over within a few days. I have kept the money for the same in the kitchen cabinet drawer. In case it arrives when I am not at home, use that money to pay for the refill.
