For some career writing notices is basically the job itself. Inspectors, officers of the court, and even engineers spend a decent part of their day leveling off notices to the communities that they serve. Notices are often a formal and cold means of communication, but they must serve their purpose. Notices are often used to communicate a message to many people. They must be written clearly and easy to understand, otherwise they defeat their own purpose.
