A sample answer
Look at the following sample question and answer for ideas on how to write a

3.Question
After laying out the addresses and dates correctly, you might go on to write:
Dear Sir,
A better response would be to ask yourself why you would write a letter like this. The
answer is probably because you read the article in the newspaper and it made you
cross. The next step would be to ask yourself why it made you cross. The answer to
this may be that you are a parent with a teenage son who doesn't have much to do,
perhaps because the local playground was sold off. Suddenly you have a scenario
and your ideas will come thick and fast. The letter can therefore begin something like
this:
Dear Sir,
I was appalled to read the article in your newspaper last week criticising teenagers.
As a parent of one myself, I feel personally insulted by the arrogant tone and
ignorant attitude of your journalist.
My own son, for example, used to play in the local playground until two months ago
when it was closed and bulldozed. All this was done just so some adults (who you
might think are excellent role models) could get a nice view from their windows...
This letter now stands out. It ticks all the right boxes and, as a result, this piece of
work will get a high grade:
