Tips for choosing what to include
Picture your reader
Think about who receives the letter and what they care about. The most useful points are the ones that matter to them, not just to you.
Lead with the essentials
Identify the one or two things the letter absolutely must say, then build the rest of your points around them.
Be specific
Concrete details like names, dates and a particular moment make a letter land. Favour specific points over generic statements.
Match the moment
A complaint, a thank-you and a condolence call for very different points. Let the occasion guide what you choose to include.
Include a next step
Most letters need a clear ask or closing thought. Make sure one of your points covers what you want to happen next.
Trim what is not needed
Once you have your ideas, keep the points that serve the letter and drop the rest. Focused letters are stronger letters.
