Leaving a Message

Sometimes, there may not be anyone to answer the telephone and you will need to leave a message. Follow this outline to make sure that the person who should receive your message has all the information he/she needs.

1. Introduction - - - - Hello, this is Ken. OR Hello, My name is Ken Beare (more formal).

2. State the time of day and your reason for calling - - - - - It's ten in the morning. I'm phoning (calling, ringing) to find out if ... / to see if ... / to let you know that ... / to tell you that ...

3. Make a request - - - - Could you call (ring, telephone) me back? / Would you mind ... ? /

4. Leave your telephone number - - - - My number is .... / You can reach me at .... / Call me at ...

5. Finish - - - - Thanks a lot, bye. / I'll talk to you later, bye.

Example of message

Telephone: (Ring... Ring... Ring...) Hello, this is Tom. I'm afraid I'm not in at the moment. Please leave a message after the beep..... (beep)

Ken: Hello Tom, this is Ken. It's about noon and I'm calling to see if you would like to go to the Mets game on Friday. Could you call me back? You can reach me at 367-8925 until five this afternoon. I'll talk to you later, bye.

Using the patterns above, write a message to your partner. Then make up a dialogue as you are speaking on the telephone.

My dear Ms. Smith,

thank you for your letter from March 9 and your interest in our new digital communication system.

In mean time, I send a copy of our last catalogue and currant prize list.

If you have any questions or would like further informations concerning our company and its products, please don’t hesitate but contact me again.

Yours fatefully,

15.E-mails are usually written in a less formal style than letters. People you know well may send you e-mails with certain grammar words missing:

It’s a great idea. I’m presenting it to the board today. I’ll speak to you later.

Put the missing words back into the e-mail below.

Subject:Sanyo proposal –I like it!

Hi Rosa-been in meetings all day, so just got your message plus attachment.

Sounds great-particularly like your suggestion about discount rates. One or two points a bit unclear perhaps, but basically good stuff. Could add something about packaging. Nice job, anyway.

See you Friday. Leo

Rewrite the business letter above (ex. 14) into an e-mail.
