When I read the bit saying it was a newspaper article I absolutely grinned, then the letter was even more of a relief (future journalist who tends to write 'disgusted of...' letters over here!)
I didn't format either of them though - we were told that columns were a waste of time etc, and I just clean forgot about addresses. Oh well, I did end with 'I remain, Sir, yours faithfully' (also a Times reader, can you tell?!), perhaps that'll endear me to them...and I mentioned Boris Johnson in the advice bit, so if they're Tory it could get me brownie points!
Gah, stopped caring now, but I wasn't expecting articles I was expecting a leaflet or somesuch. Didn't comment on structure for either...oh well. Think Rafiki!
