I hate these chavs who have done no research or didn't know about the Doomsday Prediction until November 2009, Because there reason for not believing it is:

If you carried out any research you would know the Mayans didnt predict the world ending, simply the end of one age/calendar for another. And the same long count calendar wasnt originally theirs, it was used by many mesoamerican cultures as well as the Maya.
The Long Count Calendar used by the Maya was simply a system to date any specific event from one starting point, in this case the mythological founding of their civilisation in 3114 BC/BCE. However this date wasnt considered by them to be a creation date as they believed at least four long counts had occured between the creation of the world/universe and their civilisation starting.
They also have predictions for future events both physical astrological predictions such as comet observation periods planetary and cosmic alignments etc and also prophetic type predictions dated as being in the next long count calendar.
The belief of great catastrophes etc was actually an Aztec belief. They like the Maya also used two shorter calendars one of 365 days one of 260, the ends of both coinciding every 52 years, if certain religious practices were not carried out near the approach of the calendar run outs they expected certain catastrophes to occur.
Back to OP's original question though, I dont think I would actually care to pass a message to anyone at the "end of days", what good would it do? Besides I would probably be too wankered to be coherent.
