Tips on letter writing

Letters to the media should be as short and to the point as possible.
The first paragraph must be interesting to gain the attention of the reader.
The letter need not flow like novel and can be made up of machine gun points or statements.
Tell it like it is, your feelings, your opinion, your fears.
The media wants to know what you think and want.
Do not be afraid to use OUR slogans, do not repeat the slogans of gun control.
Take a snipe at organisations by all means. Grief For South Africa or Gangsters and Criminals Alliance..
Be polite and don't be abusive.
Attack but be sure you are right first. There is little to be gained in attacking the media or staff.

It is better to bring to public notice what will influence them the most. Remember firearms are not high on this list. Safety and security from the ravages of crime are. Abuse of powers by the state and police. Waste of TAX money for no public benefit. The right to self-defense because the police do not protect private citizens. Nor can they prevent a crime from happening if they do not know about it.

Be sure to compliment when deserved.
Humour is fine but don't over do it. What is funny to you may not be to someone else.
