This portion of the assignment will be via US mail or the Internet.
Every A.C.T! member must write a least one letter. And the group one letter. So a group of two will do three. A group of three will do four and so on. We will learn how to write a quality letter. You will have various guidelines to go by. All letters must be 12 point font, with 1 inch margins, and typed. You may submit letters via E-mail, however E-mail letters, like regular mail, must be okayed for sending by Mr. Wood. I will NOT clear a letter that has any misspelled words, or does not convey what I think is a coherent message. You may run the letters by me as many times as you wish. When a letter is cleared it counts 100%. If it is not cleared by due date that letter counts 0% no matter how many times you’ve rewritten the letter.
