Start It!  Begin by formatting your letter using the proper format.  Be sure all of your mailing information is accurate.  Be clear about why you are writing by stating your purpose in a short, opening paragraph.  If you are reacting to another writing, include the title, author, page number, and/or date.

Format It!  First paragraph states opinion and/or reason for writing.  Middle paragraph provides reasons, facts, examples, and explanations to support your opinion.  Final paragraph states a clear request for action the writer wishes the reader to take.

Write It!  Explain your position/opinion on the issue stated in your opening:  State your views firmly, but politely.  Back them up with reasons, facts, and logical arguments.  You may make emotional appeals, but do not allow them to take the place of hard facts.
