A notice is written or printed information that can be in the form of an official statement of public importance or an ad The basic purpose of a notice is to disseminate information related to various issues or occasions. It is written in a simple and formal language and is always brief and to the point. Notices are generally given in newspapers or magazines or displayed publicly on the notice board of an organization. A notice can also be given in the columns of a newspaper as an advertisement. Since a notice is primarily meant to inform a large number of people, it must be clear and brief. It is similar to a circular, but the major difference is that the circular reaches through a messenger while a notice is displayed either on a notice board or in a newspaper column.
