Can't create Notes in Contacts exchange

Question

I am trying to create a contact with Notes in it but instead contact gets created but I can't restore the Notes inside contact.

The dictionary key for is:"PersonalNotes". While using the below soap message, I am getting API HttpError 500 error for user. When I change the below soap message like("Hello"), my contact gets created but I can't see notes section in contact. I have also tried after changing the RequestServerVersion. I have also tried after changing the position in soap message.

<soap:Envelope
                    <t:Notes>
                        <t:Entry Key="Notes">**With Notes**</t:Entry>
                    </t:Notes>
                </t:Contact>
    </soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>

This is soap message I am using to create the notes in contact.

response = self.client.post_retry(url='https://outlook.office365.com/EWS/Exchange.asmx', data=RestoreContact_SOAP, anchormailbox=True, content_type = 'xml')

Please Help.

The notes are just the body of the Item so to create them use the body property instead eg this should work

  <soap:Body>
    <CreateItem
