You need these every time or it will be considered plagiarism, and you will receive a 0 on your project.

Dear Governor Walker, My name is _____, and for my freshman English class, we are writing letters to elected officials about social justice issues. I chose to write about homeless veterans, because I have seen homeless veterans in my own community. I think that the state and federal government should provide better access to healthcare for homeless veterans because 1) it would reduce the number of veterans who commit suicide, 2) it would give them opportunities to find a sense of community, and 3) it is the right thing to do for those who served. Attached is my letter concerning this issue. Thank you for your consideration of my perspective. Best Regards, [type name here]
