Notice writing examples show the correct format and tone for notices in IGCSE English and Singapore secondary exams. Using notice writing examples helps you see where NOTICE, the date, heading, body, and signature and designation go, and what kind of language to use. This guide gives notice writing examples and explains how to use them when practising for your exams.

Why notice writing examples help

In IGCSE and Singapore exams, notices are marked on format as well as content. Missing the word NOTICE, the date, or the signature and designation can cost marks. Notice writing examples act as a template: you see the correct order and the formal style. Practise by adapting the examples to different topics (events, lost and found, rules, requests) so you can produce a full, well-formatted notice under timed conditions. For the full notice format and more notice writing examples, see our Notice Writing Format and Examples guide.
