Business Letter Format

Agenda:

• Review business letter
• Draft a three-paragraph letter to a local politician about racial profiling.
• Requirements:
• You must include all parts of the business letter reviewed in the powerpoint.
• You also have all of this information in a handout.
• Your spacing needs to be correct.
• You need to take a stance on racial profiling.  You can use the pros and cons from the handouts.  However, everything should be your own words/your own opinion on the stance.  
• We are not actually sending the letters.  However, you should look up information for an actual politician.  Letter-writing campaigns about important and hotly debated issues like these are common.  You may find yourself writing one some day and needing to look up exactly this information.  A Google search likely will give you the results that you are looking for.
