Letters: Effective Letter Writing Results

The whole idea of a letter is to convey an idea and sentiment, share information, and persuade the proper party to do what you want done. GET RESULTS. It seems simple, and should be, but it is not always that way. It takes good letter writing to secure good results.

Many people screw themselves to start with. How? They send the letter/communication to the wrong person, someone that cannot actively provide a solution. That is "Bone-headedness."

Make sure your letter is directed to the right person with the authority to make decisions and change things, and then write "to" them and not "at" them. Communicate "with" them. Never waste time sending info to anyone not directly involved with the current situationj.

Ideally, you will present some basic info to the right person, and then provide a solution to your dilemma that the reader and decision maker will actively act upon. But, you must show the reader the benefits of doing what you desire. 

Make the reader or decision-maker a partner, as opposed to an enemy! Show mutual benefits. Understand?
