Kateee, I am not a member of your organization, but I agree with Nutbrownhair. First, writing the letter yourself demonstrates a level of commitment that may weigh in your favor. Second, writing the letter will provide practice and discipline in an area that you believe requires strengthening. Perhaps your college has a writing lab with teaching assistants who help students become better writers. The letter may be a good project for a few sessions there.

That said, I will provide a few writing pointers. Look at my paaragraph above. It starts with a concise statement of the topic or purpose. Follow the lead-in with a few focused, concise arguments in support of your statement, leading with the strongest. Then conclude with a summary statement. Another pointer is not to be afraid of editing your work.

Good luck!
