How to use 通知书
通知书 is used for formal written notices from schools, companies, courts or government offices. The most famous one is the university acceptance letter, 录取通知书 (lùqǔ tōngzhīshū). Example: 我收到了大学的录取通知书。(Wǒ shōudào le dàxué de lùqǔ tōngzhīshū.) I received my university acceptance letter.
Break it into 通知 (tōngzhī), to notify, plus 书 (shū), a written document. A 通知书 is the notice written down on paper so the news reaches you in a form you can keep.
Common mistake: Learners often use 通知书 for any casual message, but for an announcement or a quick heads-up, 通知 (tōngzhī) alone is more natural. Also keep 知 (zhī) in the first tone. Do not say it with the fourth tone of 智 (zhì).
