Town Hall messages should have three sections:
1) Announcements (things you update on a daily/bi-weekly basis)
2) A menu of things discussed in the message
3) The actual items that you just said would be in the message
It helps to have a little intro about yourself before the message, so that new people know that the Mayor is active and changing the message regularly. You'll also want to use bullet-points under each heading for each piece of subject matter. Keep the whole of the letter as short as you can. Take out notes that become unnecessary later.
Here's my latest letter. Notice the subjects are divided up and each subject is bullet-pointed and kept short and to the point:

Charisma: Helps you to get hired when competing for a job or to buy or sell items on the market. Example: If Joe has 3 Charisma and Sarah has 1 Charisma Point and both attempt to buy the same bread, Joe will buy the bread and Sarah will not.
Intelligence: Helps you to make more choices when fishing, chopping wood, picking fruit and so on.
Strength: Helps you to fish out further, chop wood higher and so on. Also, Strength Points come into play when you are robbing or being robbed by people on the roads and/or when fighting in an army.
==== - 3) HOW TO HELP YOUR TOWN - ====
* Become a Lord and our town is paid a stipend, just for having you in town.
* Another way to help us out is to pick up food items to sell when you leave town.
*You can also volunteer for a Town Council position.
== - 4) ECONOMICS/LAWS/SUGGESTIONS - ==
* MARKET: Our economy is low priced and moving. :)
* Minimum Wage: is currently 14 pounds
* Profiteering on our market is illegal and can be prosecuted.
** If you have concerns on a certain product, please send a note to your Mayor! Also, if you need a loan for any reason, contact the Mayor. Thanks. **
* FORUMS: I highly encourage you to read and post in our forum. To truly play RK is to know the forums. Just click on the word "Forum" below your news scroller. Then click on "Go to the forum with your player's account 'your name here'". Once in the forum, you can scroll down to our county (Galloway) and our town (Whithorn). If you can not see the forums, please check your security.
========== - 5) LEVELING - ===========
*Please notify the mayor with a simple note when you level.*
= TO LEVEL ONE: (If you participated in our NEW CITIZEN program, just send me a note.) I suggest you have 150 pounds before you get a first field. (You'll need some cash for expenses and to hire people). Then please choose:
* CORN
Guide: http://xenina.blogspot.com/2008_03_01_archive.html
= TO LEVEL TWO: We have a lot of level twos here. If you are thinking of moving, don't level UNTIL you move, because you lose your workshop when you move. If you do level in Whithorn, I suggest you choose carpenter or baker!
