通知（Notices）
通知或称告示是向大众告知某一事情的简短文字，通常刊登在报刊上或张贴在公共场所。通知一般由标题、正文、落款（或时间）三部分组成，有的通知用NOTICE做标题，写在正文上方正中部位。通知的目的是传递信息或分配工作，包含内容、时间和地点。如果是活动，应包含参加的人员范围；如果是讲座或报告，应包含演讲人的简介。
语言特点
通知必须用简练、准确的语言传递信息。如果包含对演讲人、主要参与人或组织者等的介绍，则语言应大方得体，重点突出，切忌长篇大论。 格式
1）标题(Subject Line)：通常只用NOTICE作为标题，或用所通知事宜的具体内容作为标题。为了醒目起见，标题的每个字母可以用大写NOTICE(但如发出通知的单位以首字母大写形式出现在通知的标志之上，则也要首字母大写形式Notice)。标题通常写在上方的居中处。
2）正文(Text)：写明所举行的活动、时间、地点、有关注意事项等内容。布置工作的通知要把工作内容和要求写清楚。被通知的单位或人一般用第三人称；但如果带有称呼语，则用第二人称表示被通知的对象，涉及要求或注意事项时，也常用第二人称表示被通知的对象(祈使句中常常省略)。
3）落款(Signature of Sponsor)：写明通知的日期和单位名称或人名。落款一般写在正文的右下方，有时也可以放在正文的左上方。
