        NOTICE WRITING 

What is a Notice?

A notice is a written or printed announcement (Example – a notice for sale). It is written in order to inform a large number of people about an event that has happened or is about to happen.
It could be an upcoming event, competition, Lost, and found notice or just a piece of information to be delivered to the targeted audience. It is generally written in a formal tone.
Notices are factual and to-the-point. The language used is simple and formal, not flowery. They are put up on display boards in schools or in public places.
