Dear Jane,　 I am sorry to tell you that I won’t be able to come this afternoon because I have to go to the airport at 2:00 p. m. to meet an overseas visitor from Australia. Please forgive me. Would you please ring me up to make another time? Many thanks. Mary

This is a letter from Mary, isn’t it?

What is a note ?

The note usually takes the form of a letter. However, not much like a letter, a note is simple in form, and short and brief in content. Notes are often used between friends and or acquaintances, and no envelope is needed.

A note must include some basic parts: the date, the salutation, the body and the signature.
