Lead with date and phone

If it is urgent, make the move date, best callback number, and timing pressure obvious.

Compress the access story

Even when the move is urgent, include stairs, elevator, parking, building rules, and large-item notes.

Be honest about uncertainty

If inventory or timing is not final, say what is known and what still needs confirmation.
