- You may be looking for the transmission itself or A Message from the Doctor.
Message from the Doctor was a short novelisation of the Thirteenth Doctor webcast of the same name, first published in the Adventures in Lockdown anthology.
While the text remains completely unchanged - essentially serving as a direct transcript of the Doctor's dialogue from the webcast - the story ends with a written signature from the Doctor herself, essentially changing the in-universe medium of the Doctor's message from a video message to a written letter.
Summary
The TARDIS detects an upsurge in psychological signals from somewhere in space and time and sends out an emergency transmission. In this transmission, the Thirteenth Doctor is self-isolating, or hiding, from an army of Sontarans. The Doctor then describes what to do in a worrying situation before saying that she'll see the person watching the transmission very soon and ending the message.
