Here are some examples of ways you might begin a letter…
- "Your newspaper's article highlighting the need for more renewable energy in our city was right-on [article title, date]…"
- "My family and I were encouraged to read that Senator [insert name] will introduce a bill to increase fuel efficiency in our state [article title, date]…"
- "I was saddened to learn of the board's decision to reduce bus and train service to the airport [article title, date]…"
- Limit your letter to one subject, and keep it brief. Check the publication's guidelines to be sure you stay within the maximum number of words allowed.
- Make it timely and relevant to current news.
- Reread your letter and be sure it is something you as a reader would like to see in that publication. Does it state your argument clearly, back it up with facts and maintain a civil tone?
- Include your contact information so the publication can get in touch with you if it needs to.
- Have fun!
