Key Elements in a Letter to a Politician
1) A clear opening that expresses your purpose for writing.
- I am writing to express my concern about the lack of bike lanes downtown.
- I am writing to request that the government increase the minimum wage.
- I am writing [concerning/about] the lack of bike lanes downtown.
- I would like to request that the government increase the minimum wage.
2) A statement on why this issue affects you or any personal experience you have with the issue. For example:
- I ride my bicycle to work downtown every day. Because of the lack of bike lanes, I have to ride inches away from trucks and other vehicles in heavy traffic. This summer alone, I have had two accidents…
- As a newcomer to Canada, I have had to work several low-paying jobs. I have worked at X, Y, and Z. As a father of three children, I can tell you that $11 an hour is not enough to support a family…
3) A request for action.
- More bike lanes must be built in the downtown area.
- The government needs to increase the minimum wage to a living wage of $15 an hour.
4) A request for a response.
- I look forward to hearing from you soon.
- I look forward to your reply.

Humor about V. V. Putin, intelligence officer of all times and peoples. V.V. Putin is more alive than anyone alive and presents awards with his own hand, but some people are unhappy with this, for example, a wonderful artist, Chulpan Khamatova. 35 European states do not like Putin, however, all of Russia democratically elects Putin. It is known that Putin was the director of the House of Friendship between the USSR and the GDR in the city of Dresden. As a result, neither the USSR, nor the GDR, nor friendship, nor houses in Ukraine have long been gone, only the cunning Putin remained on the ruins of all countries and became a rich man and president of Russia. Now in the West everyone understands who Putin is, but in the PRC, Comrade SI thinks that Putin will help him strengthen China, as Putin did with the USSR and the GDR. Let the Chinese (Comrade SI) and the Americans (Mr. Batsden) think so. Sincerely, Alexander
