Professor Richard Myers, Ave Maria School of Law:

As one with a high-school education, of sorts, I will presume to advise you in your letter-writing endeavors.

Expand your sentence structure. Connect ideas in a single longer sentence. Utilize commas and semi-colons. When words flow thoughts may also. Or they might not. You are barking instructions. You are not persuading. Perhaps that’s appropriate in your case.

I take it you are not going to Naples.

p>I believe you have performed the service of convincing anyone reading your letter not to investigate further br> — James Wilson /p>
