Preparing To Write a letter 1) Identify the proper person for the request. Many times, part of making a request is finding out who the right person to contact is. Generally, you should ask the person most qualified to fulfill your request
3) Leave enough time for the request. Always give time to the recipient as the person may be busy. Very short notice letters may not achieve the result
4) Introduce yourself. Introducing yourself has two advantages: First, it's polite. Remember, whoever you're writing to probably doesn't have to grant your request, so good manners will show that you've put thought and effort into contacting him or her. Second, identifying yourself will help the recipient understand who you are and better process your request. If this is an unsolicited request, the recipient will need to know who's making the request. Make a brief introduction of yourself, such as your job/position or affiliated organization. This will help your reader understand who is making the request.[5 If you've met the person before, it might help to remind him or her. For example, you might write: We met last week at the sports banquet. I was pleased to make your acquaintance.

Tell your recipient why the favor is important. In some situations you might need to convince the recipient that he or she should grant your request. This should also go in the second paragraph. Have all your supporting evidence ready and briefly say why this request is important, and why granting it would be helpful.
