Default SPOT Messages?

When configuring a new SPOT there are three areas in which you can
include custom messages. The OK message is easy, "ABC is still flying
and OK", the Help message is easy as well, which might be, "ABC has
landed out at the coordinates provided and is OK. My cell number is
xxx xxx xxxx." The 911 message is the sticker. Any ideas on what the
cavalry will need in this message? Something dire like, "This is a
life threatening emergency. Glider (N number) has crashed and is in
need of immediate help at the GPS coordinates provided." And ideas on
this?
