A message a stranger can use
Say it. Nothing is recorded.
This speaking turn leaves a telephone message a stranger can act on. You read the script aloud. Nothing is recorded. You are not calling a real person, and no one will hear a file later. The message needs a name, a number, a reason, and a deadline. Please call is not a message. Do not promise a truck the note does not promise. If you drop a digit, say the digits you still have and the deadline. A colleague who was not in the room should be able to dial from your turn.
Read the script aloud. Nothing is recorded. Then leave your own message. Keep the name, the number, the reason, and the deadline. Do not promise the truck.
Read this aloud
This message is for Jun at Northline. The caller is Jonah Hale, from the mill. His number is 555-0148. He called at 2:10 about order 220. The mill can ship on Friday if we confirm the quantity by noon tomorrow. He is not asking for a new price. Please do not promise the Friday truck. Jun owns the reply. If Jun is out, the person covering the desk until 6 should call before noon tomorrow. A colleague who was not on the call can dial from this note.
A shape that holds
- Who the message is for, and the caller's name.
- The number, so it can be checked.
- The reason and the deadline.
- Who owns the reply, and what you did not promise.
