Dear Nishant,
Your class teacher, Mr. Patel has called to inform you that you have to take part in a music competition in the school next week. He also mentioned that tomorrow is the last day of the registration for the music competition. I told him that you had gone to the market at the moment. You can talk to him for any other additional details.
XYZ

We always write a message in the past tense form of the verb, because the message indicates or expresses information or details about a conversation that took place in the past. A message should be short and crisp in language while only focusing on the important details rather than any other unnecessary details.

Note: A message should convey the relevant details including the name of the person who called and the reason for which he called. In case, the name of the addresser is not mentioned, you can always use ‘XYZ’.
