What is here
Wishes are for occasions. Messages are for everything else: saying thank you or sorry, telling the boss you are unwell, reminding someone about a payment without spoiling the relationship, writing to a family in grief, posting a notice in the society group. These are the messages people sit and stare at before typing. We have written them out plainly so that you can start from something sensible.
Every message is our own writing, in everyday English, Hindi and Punjabi. Work messages are polite and short. Messages for hard days are gentle and avoid advice.
Leave and reminder messages are a courtesy. They do not replace your employer's leave rules, a school's own process or a formal legal notice.

Yes. Copy any message, change the details and send it. Please do not republish the collection as your own.
What do the [brackets] mean?
They mark the parts you must replace: [Name], [date], [amount] and so on. Read the message once after filling them in.
Who wrote these messages?
We did. Every message is original writing for this site. Nothing is copied from books or other websites.
Is a WhatsApp message enough to apply for leave?
It is enough to inform. Whether it counts as an application depends on your office or school. Follow their process as well.
How is this different from the Wishes site?
Wishes covers occasions such as birthdays and festivals. This site covers feelings and everyday situations: thanks, apologies, sympathy, leave, reminders and group notices.
