How should I start my persuasive letter?

We Answered:

Persuasive letters are just what you'd imagine--an attempt to convince someone to do something. There are two types of persuasive letters: requests which the reader is likely to grant and requests which the reader is likely to reject. Obviously the second type of letter is much more difficult to write.

When writing letters of request which the reader is very likely to grant, simply bottom-line the request then give all the necessary details. Keep in mind, though, that your reader will be much less likely to grant your request if you do not give all the details.

A perfect example of this type of letter is the request for a letter of recommendation. If you find yourself writing such a letter, make sure that you tell your reader the person or organization to whom he/she is to write and the address. Also, include all information you have concerning what the letter of recommendation should include--in particular a job description or an account of what the organization looking for. Remind you reader who you are and the circumstances under which you knew one another. Finally, don't forget to mention when the letter of recommendation is due.

Should you need to write a letter to someone who is not likely to grant your request, you must be very persuasive. Your reader may not wish to grant your request for any number of reasons: the reader is thinking of something else, the reader may not need or want what you have to offer, the reader may disagree with the importance of your request, the reader may ignore your request, etc. These are barriers you must overcome.

The purposes of persuasive letters are threefold. First, the letter wishes to have readers act. Therefore, you must provide enough information so that readers know exactly what to do, and you must anticipate and overcome any possible objections. Second, the letter should build a good image of the writer and build a good image of the writer's organization. Finally, the letter should create or cement a good relationship between the reader and the writer--just in case you wish to contact this reader again.

In order to meet these purposes and write a good persuasive letter, you must know four things: the details of what you are requesting, the facts about your reader, the specific action desired from the reader, and any possible objections your reader might have.

I want to write a persuasive letter to the President..but I don't want to do the whole formal letter thing.

We Answered:

You should address him as, Dear Prime Minister. It shows respect, and people listen to you if you show respect. How would you feel if someone sent you an essay without any specific address to you.

You don't have to do the cliche "Dear Prime Minister", however you don't need to disclose ridiculous information about yourself ie, " My name is Jane, I was born in Toronto in 1988. When I was in grade 6 I won first place in the science fair"

Do an introduction (or like a cover letter). It should take the format of, "Dear Prime Minister, This is who I am. You should waste your time reading my essay because.... I'm writing you for the following reasons. I believe in the following and would like you to see my view for the following reasons."

Persuasive letter writting?

We Answered:

"The following refers to an inquiry required on the subject of..."

And after that, since I know no more about this, I think you're on your way. If the inquiry isn't "required," drop that word altogether and just leave the sentence as-is, without it.

http://www.wikipedia.org

To read up on it, click on the link above and put 'letter' in the search box. (If it just takes you to a long list, click on 'letter' again)... but I think it will take you right away to a page that show you a bit about formal letters, but more importantly, there is a list--
just scroll down and you'll see all these words about letters in blue, in a list-- and in that list there is a link to 'letter of inquiry.'

You may want to read that one. If you see another that better suits your needs, good.

I was going to try to tell you all involved in writing a formal letter, but it's much easier for you to see Wikipedia's examples. Good luck--

persuasive essay/formal letter questions?

We Answered:

My school was going to do the same, but instead of demolishing buses they actually cut down on buses. if you live a mile away from the school u will have to walk to school or be driven in.

But:
1. its eco friendly
2. covenant for parents and the students
3. provides people a job
4. takes people to get an education
5. is a reliable system for students to ensure they can get to where they need to be

Now i would suggest writing 2 paragraph per point for example:

In our country being eco friendly has become very important. There are many was that us americans have tried to be eco friendly, to help help save the planet we live on. and so on.....
( then the next paragraph for eco friendly would look like)
Taking the bus not only give transportation to student but helps reduce the amount of gas we put into the air, helping our planet be more eco friendly... and so on!


Good luck

I was wondering the correct way to formally address the president [us] in a formal 'business' letter?

We Answered:

If you are sending it to the current President, then you put "Mr. President" or "President [NAME]"

If sending it to the President Elect, then you put "President Elect Obama", or "Senator Obama".
