Do it right! 

 

Now, when you know what a letter should look like, it’s time you learn the technique 

how to write it fast. It works for absolutely any kind of letter. After writing a couple 

of letters you will realize, that writing down a 150 words alone takes you 15 minutes, 

plus you have to think of a story to tell in your letter, to make it interesting.  

 

So this is how you do it: 

 

1.  When you get the writing assignment, first look and understand what kind of 

letter do you need to write: complaint/request, business, job application or 

personal. 

 

2.  Read the assignment and write down on the draft paper 3 first things that come 

to your mind. Those ideas must refer to the topic directly. If there are a 

number of things you need to write about, refer to every one of them. Make 

things up, be creative, it doesn’t have to be the absolute truth. Stop right there, 

no more thinking!  

 

3.  Start writing. First paragraph requires no thinking – write 1-2 sentences that 

explain the topic of your letter. 

 

4.  Remember the 3 things you made up? Use them while you are writing 

paragraph two. Make it the largest paragraph because it is your only chance to 

get 150 words in the letter. 

 

5.  When paragraph two is done, paragraph three and four (if applicable) are a 

piece of cake, because they generally are based on paragraph two. 

 

6.  After you have finished writing, read the letter once again and check for 

spelling and punctuation errors.
