    A letter to the editor is a letter commenting on a current problem published in a newspaper or magazine, often in response to a specific article. The letter should have an opening paragraph providing background on the issue, two body paragraphs stating what needs to change and the proposed benefits, and a concluding paragraph summarizing the opinion. Formal language and structures should be used while avoiding rhetorical questions to maintain a serious tone.
