WRITING 5.1 Read and translate the information How to Leave a Phone 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. Things You'll Need:
Step 1 Speak slowly and enunciate clearly. If the recipient can't understand your message, it will be useless and frustrating. Step 2 Try not to ramble, mumble, hesitate or whisper. Step 3 Emphasize your phone number and name by repeating them, especially for business calls or important social engagements. Step 4 Prepare, at least in your mind or write down, what you want to say beforehand. Step 5 Respond to the matter at hand. If it's a romantic connection, consider reading a sweet poem; alternatively, make it short and sweet. Step 6 Be businesslike for a business connection. State your name, your company and your reason for the call: "returning your call," I was referred to you by Joe Schmo," "I got your name from my marketing VP," "You've won the sweepstakes." Step 7 Never feel compelled to tell all to the machine. Phrases such as, "Call me back for details" or "I'd prefer to tell you this news in person" are welcome. Step 8 Cut off? Call back and leave your message again, explaining why. Step 9 Include a time when you can be reached for a return call. (from http://www.ehow.com/how_11174_leave-phone-message.html)
