​HOW DO YOU WRITE A LETTER TO THE EDITOR?OPEN THE LETTER WITH A SIMPLE SALUTATION.Don't worry if you don't know the editor's name. A simple "To the Editor of the Daily Sun," or just “To the Editor:” is sufficient. If you have the editor's name, however, you should use it to increase the possibilities of your letter being read.
GRAB THE READER'S ATTENTION.Your opening sentence is very important. It should tell readers what you’re writing about, and make them want to read more.
EXPLAIN WHAT THE LETTER IS ABOUT AT THE START.Throughout your letter, remember the rule:
  • Be quick,
  • Be concise, and then
  • Be quiet.
Don't make the editor or the general public wait to find out what you want to say. Tell them your key point at the beginning.
EXPLAIN WHY THE ISSUE IS IMPORTANT.If you are motivated enough to write a letter to a newspaper or magazine, the importance of your topic may seem clear to you. Remember, though, that the general public probably doesn't share your background or the interest. Explain the issue and its importance simply. Use plain language that most people will understand
