Summarize the following:
Start writing your message while the bottle is drying. You can write a story about your life, a poem, or an encouraging message. The possibilities are endless and you should write whatever you want to share, as long as the message is positive. Since it is highly likely that a stranger will read the message, be sure not to reveal sensitive personal information. For instance, do not include your age or phone number if you are under the age of eighteen. You can add things that you enjoy, such as your favorite sport or your favorite food. Once you have finished writing your message, read it to determine if it is truly what you want to share with a stranger. They may contact you years down the road, so be sure to share something interesting. Some people send a message in a bottle for sentimental purposes, such as sharing a love story. Instead of using your address, use a Post Office Box number. You can also use an email address if you have an email address that you feel comfortable sharing with strangers. This allows the recipient to track you down and tell you where they found your message in a bottle. Roll up your message as tightly as possible and place a small piece of tape around it to keep it from unraveling. Be sure that the tape will not destroy the message when the recipient unrolls the message. Drop your message into the bottle after the bottle is dry and make sure the entire piece of paper fits in the bottle. Use a permanent marker to write a warning on the outside of the bottle, such as: "Do not throw this bottle away - message inside!" Make sure that the words are clearly visible.
Write a message. Add contact information. Secure the message. Add a warning.
