Editing Templates

Templates are starting points. The best version includes your specific details and removes anything unnecessary.

Start with facts

Replace placeholders first. Add the names, dates, amounts, deadlines, addresses, or other details the reader needs.

Adjust the tone

For friendly letters, add warmth. For formal notices, keep the tone direct and factual.

Remove extra sentences

If a sentence does not apply, delete it. Shorter letters are often more effective.

Final check

Make sure the first paragraph explains why you are writing and the final paragraph explains what happens next.
