• Write the notice in a very precise manner and must add


only relevant details. The word count of notice should not
increase 50 words.
• Use formal language while writing a notice. It is a formal
document and has to be written formally.
• Use very small and simple sentences that are very easy to
understand. Writing in this way will help readers
comprehend your information easily.
• Write sentences in the passive voice.
• Make sure you present your notice inbox style. This makes
the presentation very good.
