Many many thanks to you anyway.


My pleasure. We all learn something, even by helping others.

When you've had a chance to revise your letter with the correct facts and figures and details, you might want to come back and let us review your letter again.

Again, I want to stress that writing letters such as the one you proposed do carry risk, often grave risk. Often those "evil people" have friends in high places. Once your letter is delivered, other people are sure to read it and they might become extremely angry. That anger can often take dangerous forms. So before you send your letter, please make sure you have properly thought through all the consequences, both positive and negative.

As I said in a prior post, life isn't always fair. Once we recognize that and accept it, we can better plan our next moves.

Good luck!

Bubu,

Just another thought. If you are looking for an excellent book on writing, may I suggest the following two books:

1) Style: Toward Clarity and Grace by Joseph M. Williams. You can find it on Amazon here. (http://tinyurl.com/62rn6)

2) Style: Ten Lessons in Clarity and Grace by Joseph M. Williams. You can find it on Amazon here. (http://tinyurl.com/6qzyd)

As you can see, these books are highly rated on Amazon.

I need to reread these books myself.

The books are NOT grammar books. Instead, they teach you to write more effective sentences. They provide guidance on how to structure the sentences so that they flow better from one sentence to the next.

I just thought this might be of interest to you.
