Make your questions specific, clear, and concise.
Phrase your questions so that the reader will know
immediately the type of information you are seeking,
why you need it, and how you will use it.
If possible, present your questions in a numbered list to
make it easy for your reader to address them.
Keep the number of questions to a minimum to improve
your chances of receiving a prompt response.

Develop your letter to accomplish three basic goals.
– Open by attracting your reader’s attention and
arousing his or her interest.
– Describe features of the product or service that would
appeal strongly to your reader’s wants or needs.
– Suggest ways that the reader can immediately use the
product or service.
If sending an e-mail message, create a subject line that
encourages recipients to read the message (“Special
Offer When You Respond to This Message”).

Be certain that any claim you make in a sales letter is
truthful, not an overstatement.
Present evidence to convince your reader that your
product or service is everything you claim it to be.
Don’t exaggerate, make unreasonable claims, speak
negatively of a competitor, or use other unfair tactics.
You can build confidence with a money-back guarantee,
a free trial offer, testimonials, or case histories.
