7 Strategies For Letter Writing.

1. Keep your letter Short and To The Point.
   A typical letter page will hold 350 to 450 words. Try to
   never exceed that amount of words or you take the risk of
   losing your readers. Letters should be consise, factual,
   and focused. Letters need to speak from your heart.

2. Outlining Your Letter Will Keep It Clear, Concise, and Logical
   Before you start writing your letter make an brief point form
   outline. Then you need to organize those points into a logical
   progression, what comes first and then next for example. The
   outline that you really need to use is introduction and purpose
   of the letter, background and explanation, and then the summary
   and conclusion. All your letters need these components.

 3. Focus On The Needs
    What information does your receipients need? If you are sending
    out letters to a group of people that are intrested in what’s
    on sale at your tire store, then don’t send them information on
    sale item’s at the local candy store. Stay focuses and you will
    keep your receipients reading your letters.

  4. Appropriate Language Is A Must
     Do not use technical terms and acronyms without explaining
     them to your receipients. Use simple straight forward language,
     for clarity and precision.

  5. Short Sentences and Paragraphs
     A paragraph should not exceed two or three sentences. It makes
     the letter more readable. Keep your sentences as short as
     possible and break the text into short paragraphs.

  6. Review and Revise
     After you have finished your letter read it out loud and see
     if your letter flows. A letter that does not make sense will
     cause your readers to toss your letter aside. Get the help of
     a friend or associate to proof read your letter.

  7. Check Spelling and Grammer.
     Always check and recheck your spelling and grammer.
     Run the final letter through a spelling and grammer checker.
     Your readers will be inclined to not read letters from you
     if they are sloppy.
