Dear [Recipient Name]:
Paragraph 1- (No Indention; Skip a line between paragraphs) Introduction and topic of letter usually found here. For a persuasive letter where you’re trying to convince someone to take your point of view, make sure to include your stand on the topic (can your reader tell if you support it or are against it).
Paragraph 2- Topic sentence, evidence and commentary. Use as many paragraphs as necessary to address your topic.
Paragraphs 3, 4, etc.
Final Paragraph- Conclusion and restate issue. For a persuasive letter where you’re trying to convince someone to take your point of view, consider ending with a “call to action” sentence in which you ask the reader to take an action. For example, “Most people love having cats and dogs in their lives but overpopulation is a problem so be a responsible ‘pet parent’ and neuter your animals.” The writer’s call to action is when he tells his readers to neuter their animals.
Sincerely,
