Choose your words carefully. • □ Don't repeat the same thing throughout your letter. • □ Get to the point right away. \ 3 lf you are responding to a story that you disagreed with or agreed with, don't for- * _ get to reference the headline and the date it appeared. • □ lf your letter involves an important issue, such as Hawaiian rights and entitle- • ments, mention it in your first 2-3 sentences. \ 3 Always keep your letter to 200 words or less.
