  • Is the letter one-page, single-spaced (about 500 words)? How can this be improved?
  • Gallaudet University provides tips for writing a call-to-action letter by breaking down what each paragraph of such a letter should include. Please examine each paragraph and note whether it meets the following criteria, or if it can be improved:
    • 1st Paragraph – State what you want the person to do for you.
    • 2nd Paragraph – State the most important facts that support your cause. You want this paragraph to explain the most compelling reasons for action.
    • 3rd Paragraph – Talk about how the reader can make a personal difference. This paragraph should not just be facts and should engage the reader in a personal way. You can refer to your request again here.
    • 4th Paragraph – Thank the reader for considering your request and provide information on how you may be reached.
  • Is the letter in proper business letter format? Please refer to OWL Purdue for tips: https://owl.purdue.edu/owl/subject_specific_writing/professional_technical_writing/basic_business_letters/index.html
  • Is the letter free of punctuation and grammatical errors? How can this be improved?
  • Overall, does the writer make their intentions clear? Is there anything that is unclear? How can this be improved?
