 #### Sending Messages

+The following function is used for sending messages between domains:
 
 ```solidity
-event SentMessage(bytes message) anonymous;
+function sendMessage(uint256 _destination, address _target, bytes calldata _message) external;
 ```
 
-The `bytes` are an ABI encoded call to `relayMessage`. The event is defined as `anonymous` so that no topics
-are prefixed to the abi encoded call.
+It creates an initiating message that is represented by an anonymous event:
+
+```solidity
+assembly {
+    log0(add(_data, 0x20), mload(_data))
+}
+```
+
+The `_data` is an ABI encoded call to `relayMessage`. The event is done with Yul so that an extra layer
+of ABI encoding as `bytes` is not wrapped around `relayMessage` call. The exact calldata meant to be passed
+to the `L2ToL2CrossDomainMessenger` on the remote domain is included in the log.
 
 An explicit `_destination` chain and `nonce` are used to ensure that the message can only be played on a single remote
 chain a single time. The `_destination` is enforced to not be the local chain to avoid edge cases.
