便条 (Notes)
便条是书信的一种形式,常用的有请假条和留言条两种。较普通书信来说,其特点是格式简单,内容简短。
一、请假条(Written Request for Leave)
这里所讲的请假条包括病假条、事假条以及续假条等。写请假条要注意把请假的原因和请假时间写清楚,而且请假的理由要讲充分。如果有证明原因的证据,如医生的证明等最好随条附上。

二、留言条 (Notes Left)
留言条使用范围较广,大多是本人在某一场合下的直接、简短的留言,并且多用于亲朋好友及熟人之间。留言条的书写格式以及用词乃至称呼语气上较请假条来说,还要简单、随便。一般来说,不必写出年、月、可直接用星期几、或者月、日、点钟代之。如用于熟人,仅称呼其名或姓、属上自己的名或姓即可。下面就是几种常见的留言。
