urgent message
Time-sensitive dispatch
An urgent message is a communication requiring immediate attention or action.
The phrase implies time sensitivity—delay could cause harm, missed opportunities, or serious consequences.
I have an urgent message from the hospital.
The label sometimes gets overused, diluting its force when everything becomes "urgent."
