Government bodies often hold press conferences if they want to make a major a public service announcements and later publish it in some form of print or electronic medium.

A company will send out a job vacancy announcement to prospective candidates who may suit the job profile. If a company has plans to expand its business or introduce a new business model, they will send out a new business announcement to their clients, investors and business partners. As a gesture of hospitality, a company may sometimes make an announcement to welcome a new employee to the organization. Company announcements help to keep employees, clients and investors updated on the latest news regarding the company and let them know of new services launched or future plans.
Even though there are all kinds of announcements that can be made, there are basic structural standards to keep in mind when writing an announcement letter. Whether you're announcing a job opening, new schemes or programs, changes in policy or anything else, your announcement letter should be to the point, informative, and clear. If you are announcing bad news, make a direct, factual statement. Your tone should be understanding, considerate and tempered with optimism.
As you will see from the declaration letter tests gave, even declarations showing a negative issue can be verbalized so as to think about well an organization. A well-worded announcement can demonstrate a sincere desire to maintain a personal or business relationship, and can help to build confidence, boost morale, and facilitate goodwill.
