　　英语的通知可分为两类，即书面通知和口头通知。写作格式及要求如下：
一、通知的标志
书面通知是书面的正式公告或布告，常常是张贴在显眼的位置，多用notice作标志。为了醒目起见，标志的每个字母可以用大写notice(但如发出通知的单位以首字母大写形式出现在通知的标志之上，则也要首字母大写形式notice)，并常写在正文上方的正中位置。标志后可以编号，也可以不编号。口头通知用announcement作标志，但通常省略不说。
二、出通知的单位及时间
发出通知的人或单位的名称，一般写在标志的上方或在正文后面的右下角；发出通知的时间要写在正文的左下角，也可按书信格式写正文的右上角。不过，这两项有时可以省略。口头通知不说这两项。
三、通知的正文
正文要写明所做事情的具体时间、地点、概括性内容(多为书面通知的首句)、出席对象及有关注意事项。布置工作的通知要把工作内容和要求写清楚。正文一般可采用文章式，为了醒目也可采用广告式。广告式要求简明扼要，一个句子可以写成几行，且尽量写在中间，各行的第一个字母一般都大写。
四、通知的对象
被通知的单位或人一般用第三人称；但如果带有称呼语，则用第二人称表示被通知的对象，口头通知就常用第二人称表示被通知的对象。涉及要求或注意事项时，也常用第二人称表示被通知的对象(祈使句中常常省略)。
五、通知的文体
书面通知用词贴切，语句简洁，具有书面化；口头通知用词表达要注重口语化。口头通知的开头往往有称呼语(被通知的对象)，如：“boys and girls”，“ladies and gentlemen”，“comrades and friends”等，或用提醒听众注意的语句，如“attention,please!”“your attention,please!”“may i have your attention,please?”等，且最好有结束语，如：“thank you(forlistening)”以示礼貌．
