Hello! :)

I’m afraid I can’t really help you with that as you have to use your own wording and knowledge to write a letter to the editor. But here are tips and basics that might get you started and help when writing your letter:

- Basics

A Letter to the Editor may be written to the editor of a newspaper or a magazine. It is written to highlight a social issue or problem. It can also be written in order to get it published in the said medium. As it is a formal letter, the format has to be followed strictly.

- Tips

Keep your letter under 300 words. Editors have limited space for printing letters, and some papers have stated policies regarding length (check the editorial page for this).

• Make sure your most important points are stated in the first paragraph. Editors may need to cut parts of your letter and they usually do so from the bottom up.

• Refer to a recent event in your community or to a recent article – make a connection and make it relevant.

• Use local statistics and personal stories to better illustrate your point.

• Make sure you include your title as well as your name – it adds credibility, especially if it's relevant to the topic being discussed. If you are a program director, your title may lend credibility to the letter.

Hope this still helped and wasn’t too late in answering! Sorry if you wanted a different answer.

Have a great day! Good luck and get starting!

~ Destiny ^_^
