Notice Writing
What is a notice?
A notice is a written or printed announcement (Example - a notice for sale). It is written in order to inform a
large number of people about something that has happened or is about to happen. It could be an upcoming
event, competition, Lost and found notice or just a piece of information to be delivered to the targeted
audience. It is generally written in a formal tone. Notices are factual and to-the-point. The language used is
simple and formal, not flowery. They are put up on display boards in schools or at public places.
The Notice writing format should include: NAME OF THE INSTITUTION / ISSUING
AUTHORITY / NOTICE / TITLE, DATE, and WRITER’S NAME WITH DESIGNATION.
A notice should contain all the necessary details such as:
1.Name of the issuing agency (school, etc)
2.Date of issue/release of the notice
3.Title/Subject of the Event (what?)
4.BODY-Date/time/duration/Place/Venue (when and where?)
5.Authorized signatory: Name and signature (contact details)
