Hmm:
"You are acting in an unlawful manner. Lay down your weapons immediately or face attack. This is your final warning."
Maybe peek at some Chiêu Hồi leaflets for inspiration, hmm. A generic 'you should give up' leaflet would take some thought. Heh, some of the Viet Cong leaflets aimed at Americans went more or less like: "Come to us, and you will get $10,000 and this girl", along with a pinup picture of a woman.
Another reason, perhaps, for the PsyOps teams to have a lot of silver and gold coins. Sure, you bought their cooperation, but sometimes it's better than fighting them.

Most of the time the correct direction is South and West. Counter the prevailing winds. Dropped in front of a refugee column it would read "Warning, approaching a significant fallout contamination zone! Turn back or apply safeguards." Then red or yellow smoke shells would be dropped on the known edge of the contamination zone closest to the refugee column.
Best case scenario an MP Chem OPs team using an M93 Fox vehicle or V-150 equivalent has mapped that terrain.
