Writing Bank 5
Informal messages / notes
Informal messages, or notes, are short pieces of writing we write to inform people about something, ask them to do something for us, arrange a meeting, etc
Messages provide all the information needed without being chatty. We usually omit words, such as personal pronouns (I you, etc) articles (а/an, the, etc.), auxiliaries (am, have etc) and greeting (Dear, Yours, etc).
We can use the imperative, informal inkers, participles and short verb forms. We don’t normally write them in paragraphs.
Useful Language
Starting a message
Person’s first name only, e g Tony/Mark Reason for writing the message

Practice
1 Read the model below. Why isn’t it appropriate? Think about:
layout
way it starts/ends
chatty language
omission of pronouns/articles/auxiliaries
2 Rewrite it to make it appropriate.
Dear Sophie,
Jackie telephoned this afternoon. She is sick and she asked me to take her to the doctor’s. I said yes. Unfortunately this means I cannot come with you to the aerobics class. Would you mind if you go on your own? I might be late. If I finish early. I’ll call you so that we meet for coffee. Alternatively we could have dinner together. Please send me a text message to let me know if you agree.
Best wishes,
Louise
