Lost Message   A lost message is a kind of message where the sender (event occurrence) is known but the receiver (event occurrence) is not known. It is assumed that the reason it does not have a receiver (reception) is because it never reached its destination.

Explanation

A lost message is a message that is sent but for some reason never reaches its intended destination. In our everyday life messages can be lost. For example we may send an email to someone, which for a number of reasons may not arrive at its intended destination. The lost message can be used to model unpredictable failure of message reception in a system.
