Include no more than five bullet points. Ask yourself: will people be interested or is my message too long to read? Remember to stick to the key points.
After your writing, discuss the key points with a family member. Ask what their opinion (what they think) is and explain your own viewpoint. Try to give at least one reason for your opinion.
