NOTICE WRITING
A notice is a formal means of communication. The purpose of a notice is to announce

be pinned up on specific display boards whether in schools or in public places. Notices
issued by the government appear in newspapers.
Format:
A notice should be written in the following format:
• the name of the organisation issuing the notice
• the title ‘NOTICE’
• a heading to introduce the subject of the notice
• the date

• the writer’s signature, name (in block letters) and designation
