note

 
     
  A strictly formal, third person, no-frills communication which is sometimes known as a note verbale. This is the customary mode of written communication between an embassy and a ministry of foreign affairs. A note is generally rubber-stamped at the bottom and initialled by the person authorizing its issue. Notes are generally numbered in sequence, starting again each year.


A note as in sense (1), except that it is couched in the first person singular (and hence is called a first person note). British requests for agrément are so sought (by the incumbent head of mission in the state concerned).


A strictly formal communication from one state to another setting out the proposed terms of an agreement or understanding between them. With a confirmatory reply an exchange of notes is thereby constituted, so establishing a treaty or a memorandum of understanding.
