For this letter, you will pick someone to write to--- an actor/actress, musician, politician, athlete, author, businessperson, celebrity, etc.
You must be able to find an address associated with them in order to write to them. Think of the company, record label, team, agency, television studio, etc. that they are associated with and find that address-- this way you know it will be a legitimate one.
Format the letter using a block format, open punctuation just like the ones you've just created. Look at your notes or page 78 in the text if you don't remember.
1st paragraph: Tell the person who you are, a little about yourself, and why you are writing. Also let the person know that you will receive extra credit if they respond to your letter.
2nd paragraph: What do you like best about the person's work? Has the person inspired you in any way? Why did you choose to write to this person? Do you have any questions for them?
3rd paragraph: Thank the person for reading the letter and ask for a reply. Restate that a reply receives extra credit.
Make sure your letter has an introduction, middle (containing the questions and anything else you want to tell/ask them) and a closing.
You may put this on your personal letterhead if you choose, but you MUST change the address to 520 West Main Street, Rockaway, NJ 07866.
If not, you must type it as a personal business letter using the school's address as the return address.
Save this as "Name of Person you wrote to" letter.
