Article: Hillary Clinton may not be a public official anymore, but you should still address her with respect. To do this, open your letter with a kind salutation that includes an honorific like Mrs., Secretary, or Senator.  Your salutation should look something like, “Dear Mrs. Clinton,” or, “Dear Madam Secretary.” If you want to write a formal letter, put a heading above your salutation that includes the date, Hillary Clinton’s full name, and her mailing address. Since Clinton does not know you, begin the letter by telling her what your name is. If you want, you can also include things like your age, where you’re from, what grade you’re in, and what you do for a living.  So you don’t take away from the rest of the letter, keep this section about 1 to 2 sentences long. If you met Clinton at a political rally or other event, feel free to include that information here. Once you’ve introduced yourself, start composing the body of your letter. This section can be about anything at all, so write down whatever it is you want Clinton to know.  If you don’t know what to write, consider thanking Clinton for her political service or wishing her luck in any future endeavours. Hillary Clinton receives tons of letters every day, so try to keep your message brief and to the point. If you go over 3 paragraphs, see if you can cut anything to make it shorter. You can either write the letter by hand, which will make it feel more personable, or type it out on a computer, which will make it easier to edit and read. Many politicians, even those no longer in the public eye, appreciate hearing honest, open stories from their constituents. As such, don’t be afraid to open up about the impact Clinton and her political career have had on your life. If you feel it’s necessary, you can bring up potentially sensitive subjects like the 2008 and 2016 presidential elections. When you’ve written out everything you want to say, read through the letter and fix any grammar or spelling mistakes you see. Then, finish your letter with a phrase like “Sincerely” or “Best Regards” and sign your name. If you’d like, you can decorate your completed letter with pictures or stickers.
