If you want your message to mean anything to all people, you might want to avoid abbreviations like that.

When using acronyms if should be first spelled out with Acronyms in parentheses, then after that used the acronym. Most think everybody know what acronym Means cause they been using them for years. Here example.
Quoted.
“ Spell out most acronyms on first use
If there’s a chance users won’t know the meaning of an acronym or initialism, define it at first mention. Write the term in full first and follow with the acronym or initialism in parentheses. Use the shortened form rather than the full term for later mentions.
Example
The Department of Social Services (DSS) manages a range of benefits and payments for eligible Australians. DSS helps support communities through a number of programs and services.”
