	anon1  +  44680 Wed, 08 Sep 04 03:04 AM Hi Fritz, I suggest you Google "judge letter son" without the quotes and look for a letter. Your format should be something like.... Your name Address Date Your Honor XXX Position (Judge of whatever court) Address Dear Judge XX: 1st Para--Introduce yourself and state your purpose 2nd Para--Provide support for your desire for a lenient sentence...use a few paragraphs if needed. Last Para--Thank the Judge for his counsel and consideration Yours truly, Fritz Your letter should be short, concise, on-target. The longer it is, the less likely the judge is to read the entire letter carefully. If it were me, I'd try to keep it to 3 pages or less. If you like, you can read Martha Stewart's letter to the judge. Above all, be respectful and polite. Don't blame everyone else. Show contrition for whatever harm you son may have caused. I hope this helps you. MountainHiker anon1 Joined on Fri, Jul 2 2004 Senior Member 2,049 Dates, Paragraphs
