imposes

'intrudes' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both to do with communicating as well as being verbs in their -s form.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?

'upon models after sending note over' is the wordplay.
'upon' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'models' becomes 'poses' ('pose' can be a synonym of 'model').
'after sending note' becomes 'mi' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'over' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'mi' in reverse letter order is 'im'.
'poses' put after 'im' is 'IMPOSES'.
