Do not use form letters: Write in your own words.  Handwritten letters may be considered even more effective than typewritten ones. Cover only one subject per letter: Identify the subject and bill number. Ask for a response:  How will he/she vote?  How does he/she feel on this issue?  Is there anything you can do? Be courteous and businesslike: Do not make threats or be abusive.  Always say thank you.
