There are times when you need to urgently congratulate or notify someone on some issue. A telegram is used to solve this problem. Telegrams have a dry, concise style of presentation that does not express emotions or attitude to the situation. Many people, faced with the need to send a telegram, get lost. They do not know how to fill out the form correctly, compose the text and what features are inherent in telegrams.
Instructions
Step 1
Write the text of the telegram in capital letters, clearly and legibly. Leave two spaces between words. Use telegraphic language for the telegram, which excludes the use of prepositions, conjunctions and punctuation marks. The necessary punctuation marks are replaced by alphabetic abbreviations: comma - zpt, period - dot, brackets - skb, quotation marks - kvh. Signs such as +, -,!, №,?,% And others are written in words without abbreviations. To indicate the date, Arabic numerals are used with the sequence day, month, year, since no spaces are put between the numbers.
Step 2
Fill in the telegram address. If the point to which the telegram is addressed has a telegraph connection, then the following shall be indicated: index, name of the region, name of the district, name of the settlement, street, house and name of the addressee. If there is no telegraph connection, then only the district, region, settlement and the name of the recipient of the telegram are indicated. There are a number of rules for spelling certain words in addresses. The abbreviation is used in such words: building - "building", building - "str", street - "street", apartment - "kv", house - "d". In this case, the word house or "d" is sometimes not indicated before the number. Words such as district, region, village, passage, avenue, entrance, lane, quarter, boulevard and others are fully written in the telegram. A telegram can be sent, in addition to the full address, to an abbreviated address, to the post office box number, on demand, to the field post address, to the address of river and sea vessels, to the number of the received telegram.
Step 3
Enter the address and surname of the sender. It is unnecessary to pay for this part of the telegram and it will not be transmitted by telegraph.
Step 4
Give the completed form of the telegram to the telegraph operator, who calculates its cost, and pay for the sending of the telegram.
