using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class PressEToRead : MonoBehaviour {

	public GameObject Player;
	public float minDist = 5f;
	public string text = "Spooky skeletons";
	float dist;
	bool reading = false;

	void Update () {
		dist = Vector3.Distance(Player.gameObject.transform.position, gameObject.transform.position);
		if (dist <= minDist) {
			if(Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.E)) {
				if(reading) {
					reading = false;
				}
				else {
					reading = true;
				}
			}
		}
		else {
			reading = false;
		}
	}

	void OnGUI() {
		if(reading) {
			GUI.TextArea(new Rect(Screen.height/2, Screen.width/2, 500, 500), text);
		}
		else if(dist <= minDist) {
			GUI.TextArea(new Rect(Screen.height/2, Screen.width/2, 500, 500), "Press 'E' to read.");
		}
	}
}

Save as ‘PressEToRead.C#’, add to note object, assign player, and add the text. You can enter new line with
