How do I write a
letter?
Letters are an important way of communicating our concerns. But we often find
it hard to get started or to know how to actually write that letter.
*** Click on Letter Writing Hints
to find a guide to writing
a letter.
This
model can be used to write letters to Members of Parliament, Companies, TV
stations, etc.
The style and content may
vary depending on who you are writing to but some key elements are
the same...
It is always important
to remember to be POLITE...
Even though we may write on a
topic where we may 'complain' or express firmly
held views, we MUST do so with grace and love. 'Hate mail' is
not acceptable.
If you have enjoyed a TV station's programs, you could
say so BEFORE coming to the point of mentioning a particular program you
dislike...
If you have eaten a company's chocolate bars say so - in fact it
means they might listen more as you are a 'customer'. As a customer you are even more
affected by an inappropriate advertising campaign and can relate your own experience of
your feelings.
Companies and TV stations - and politicians DO listen to feedback and comment
- but they do NOT listen to rude and abusive comments by letter
or phone!!!! Author: Jenny Stokes | Modified: 22 February 2006 |
