LAN message

Can anyone recommend a free LAN messaging service for windows 7.
I would like to be able to send a message to multiple computers on our local network (there's only 10 of us).
Can the message stay open until the recipient interacts with it and maybe the sender gets an notification that the recipient has read the message.

I would prefer free but will consider anything really as long as it does the job.

Sorry, forgot to add, this is for business purposes NOT gaming etc...although I can see how a lot of these cross over.

I'm thinking maybe skype is an option, at least then any messages will appear on our hand-held devices whilst out of the office.

I would love to be able to use sticky notes in this way.
I use them on my pc as prompts / reminders etc...
It would be ideal if I could send a sticky note to another pc on our local network.
