How to use «Letter» in context?
To write an effective letter, start by mapping out what you want to say. Don’t worry about spelling or grammar — that can be fixed later.
Once you know what you want to say, start by establishing a distinct opening. Tell your reader who you are, why you are writing, and what you would like them to do.
Then, explain your position in clear, concise terms. Skip the jargon and give your reader a clear idea of what you are asking for.
Finally, close with a sincere plea for help. Let your reader know how much this would benefit them and how they can convince others to back your cause.
