Dear Editor:

(Do not indent paragraphs in a letter.)

(Do not use any first-person pronouns I, me, we, us, our, ourselves, mine, my)

(Single-space your letter)

(Erase all directions including these and the ones below in your final copy. Make it look like a letter without headings such as Paragraph I Introduction.)

Paragraph 1 Introduction

States the topic you will be discussing and it is usually one or two sentences. Save your stance and supporting facts until later. As with all introductions, this should be attention-grabbing and draw the reader in.

Paragraph Two Reaction

This is where you actually state your opinion on the topic you mentioned. It should be only one or two sentences.

Paragraph Three through Five Supportive Arguments for your stance

These paragraphs are where you sell your opinion. You must use examples, strong facts, and details to support your stance. Each paragraph should be two or three sentences. Each paragraph contains a different argument for your opinion.

Paragraph Six The Other Side

By making a counterargument (giving the other side), you are making your own argument stronger. Only one paragraph is needed. After you state the other side, you must then refute it. In other words, give reasons showing why that side is not valid.

Paragraph Seven Suggestions or Solution

What do you propose to solve the issue? This should be one paragraph. Provide some options to fix the problem.

Paragraph Eight Conclusion

End with an appeal to the reader(s). What do you want them or officials to do? What message do you want them to away from the editorial?

Sincerely,
