Answers.Text: Thanks for taking the time to ask LEGO about this and share the answer Rin - as Joseph mentions in his response it's fairly common practice for the set or piece designer to include their initials for any required text if they want a bit more flair than just wiggly lines.

  LEGO seems to be serious about the fan base, so I wrote 'em, and gave 'em the task...
  
  [![enter image description here](https://i.sstatic.net/PIZV3.jpg)](https://i.sstatic.net/PIZV3.jpg)
  
  ...And they just wrote back.
  
  [![enter image description here](https://i.sstatic.net/7e5VH.jpg)](https://i.sstatic.net/7e5VH.jpg)
  
  So, a recap-y-cap:
  
  * Doesn't mean anything.
  * The letters are initials of some LEGO designers,
  * Which designers, (they can't tell).
  * Done to fill up space that requires letters (since a real memo note needs some sort of lettering symbols).
  * The smile face and the question mark is just flair, or gibberish to
    make it look (more) like a note.
  * The circles in front of each line is to represent a check box.
  
  Original poster was right 2 out of 3 speculative reasons behind this piece's creation. Good job *[Ben](https://bricks.stackexchange.com/questions/10154/what-is-the-writing-on-this-sticky-note-tile)*.
  
  Task complete, and we're very impressed with Joseph's prompt reply from LEGO Customer Service. Thanks again Joe Joe, and now we're off to finish the LEGO survey on "How they did today"...
