While every letter may not be published, editors pay attention to well-written letters, especially when there are many about one topic. • Your letter can be positive, negative or informative in tone. It can also be emotional or objective. It should reflect your true opinions.

22. An example letter Dear Editor, The big jump in the cost of heating a house has me concerned. I just got my utility bill in the mail, and I was shocked. Even though the weather has been mild, this bill was as high as any I have seen. I’m worried that some of my friends won’t be able to pay their bills when it gets really cold. If I’m not lucky, I may not be able to pay my bill. I want to praise our elected officials for having the courage to try to do something about this problem when other cities and the state government won’t because they’re afraid of politics. The life-line utility program is a good idea whose time has come. It’s getting cold now. We can’t afford to wait for every legal opinion in the state. I believe the city should act before it’s too late. Sincerely,Tom Seekins1400 New YorkAnytown, USA 04521
