- Always be polite, even if you're angry
about something!
- Use your best handwriting. Or better
still, type your letter.
- If you don’t know the name of the
person you’re writing to, start off with ‘Dear
Sir/Madam’ and sign it ‘Yours
faithfully’.
- Explain clearly and briefly what you are
concerned about.
- Include some facts and brief background
information.
- Spell out what you want the reader to do
about it.
- Don’t forget to include your
age!
- Always ask for an answer.
- If you don’t get a reply within
ten days, phone to check that they got your letter. If you still
don’t get a reply, write a reminder. Let them know that
you’re not going to go away.
- Keep all your responses, and notes of
any phone calls you’ve made, in the same file.
This idea was taken from a Friends of the Earth
book called 'Causing A Stink - The Eco Warrior's Handbook'
by Caroline Clayton, published by Bloomsbury Publishing
Plc.
