Using UIAlertView with UITextView can be useful for you.

Implement UIAlertViewDelegate in .h file.

UITextView *comments;

-(IBAction)btnAddClicked:(id)sender
{
    UIAlertView *alert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@"Noreply Email" message:@"\n\n\n\n\n" delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:@"Close" otherButtonTitles:@"Send", nil];
    comments = [[UITextView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(15,45, 255, 100)];
    [comments setBackgroundColor:[UIColor colorWithPatternImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"mailbody.png"]]];
    [comments setFont:[UIFont fontWithName:@"Helvetica" size:15]];
    comments.scrollEnabled = YES;
    [comments becomeFirstResponder];
    [alert addSubview:comments];
    [alert show];
    [alert release];
}

Here alert will be prompted with small textview you can add comments and then handle text inside delegate method like this.

- (void)alertView:(UIAlertView *)alertView clickedButtonAtIndex:(NSInteger)buttonIndex
{
    if(buttonIndex==1) //Send button pressed
    {
        //handle your comment here
        NSLog(@"%@",comments.text);
    }
}

:According to iOs development we cannot use AlertView for user input – Upswing

Where have read this ? Many of us using alert for input. Even developer.apple.com/library/IOs/#documentation/UIKit/Reference/… UIAlertView it self has UIAlertViewStyleSecureTextInput, UIAlertViewStylePlainTextInput, UIAlertViewStyleLoginAndPasswordInput styles for input. – Salverform

They all saying about displaying contents – Upswing
