Culture Note The person who answers the phone usually asks if the caller wishes to leave a message for the person he/she wants when that person is not there. When taking a message given over the phone, be sure to repeat the caller’s information to make sure that you have correctly. You might need to ask the caller to repeat something or to ask for the spelling. (See example, page 64.)

To offer to take a message you can say... I’m sorry, he/she is in a meeting now: Can/May I take a message (for you)? Do you want me to take a message (for you)? If you like, I can take a message (for you). Is there any message?

To not leave a message you can say... No, I’d rather not leave a message. I have to talk to him myself. No, thanks. I’ll call back later. When is she likely to be back? I’ll call her then. Will he be at home this evening (weekend)? OK, I’ll call/try again in an hour (tomorrow).

To have the person asked for call you back you can say... Would you ask him to call Jim Smith before 5:30 this evening. Please tell her to call Cathy at Could you ask him to call me back? He has my number. Tell her Denny called and have her call me back please. I can be reached at , extension 274.
