Question

Drafting a vartual message in 50 words (Conversation)​

Answer 1

Answer:

Drafting a Virtual Message

Most often the input for a message comes in the form of a telephonic conversation between two people. The virtual conversation conveyed in the conversation is to be converted into a message for a third person. Whereas, sometimes, standard instructions contain the necessary information for the message. Such messages are written on small pieces of papers called memo-slips. Basically such messages contain the following:

Format :

• Date

• Time

• Name of a person to whom the message is directed

• Body of the message

• Name of the writer / sender

Points to remember : While writing the body of the message, the following points have to be kept in mind.

• Only the most important details should be written.

• No new information should be added.

• Grammatically correct sentences should be used.

• Indirect or reported speech should be used.

• The message should be written in simple language and without any abbreviations.

• Check your message before you submit and send it.

• Be friendly and polite.

• Avoid pun/ambiguity/witticism, in short words that would create confusion or a chaotic situation.

Example:

You receive a telephone call from your mother’s office when she is not at home. You have the following conversation with the speaker. But you have to go for your tuition class. So you leave a message for your mother. Write the message within 50 words using the information given below. Do not add any new information.

Ambuj : Hello!

Mr Rastogi : Hello! May I speak to Ms Dixit, please? I am Naresh Rastogi from the office.

Ambuj : Mom’s not at home right now.

Mr Rastogi : In that case can you give her a message? It is urgent. Please tell her that the meeting fixed for tomorrow has been rescheduled. Ask her to check her mail as soon as possible for the details. Please don’t forget to inform her.

Ambuj : Don’t worry. I will tell her as soon as she returns.
