A Man of Letters...
Actually, I do have letters after my name (in a professional capacity) but that's not the reason for the title of this section.
It's simply an introduction to the following 'Letter to...' pages, which relates to an aspect of my Creative Writing and something I am particularly good at (I abhor false modesty) – writing the classic "To whom it may concern" letter.
Or, more specifically, writing to get a rant out (but not just for rant's sake), make a point, to address an issue I feel strongly about, keep the buggers honest, or to challenge an individual or company on their actions or services (or lack thereof).
I am proud to be a member of what I and others term The Vocal Minority.
Pity there aren't more of us.
The examples presented on this site have particular commonalities – the clear message to the recipients that their nonsense, attempted avoidance or incompetence will not be tolerated and the fact that they are dealing with someone who will not just give up and go away.
Such letters also, usually, carry a fair injection of humour.
I occasionally contribute to sites that host such works but they are usually related to more serious topics such as local or countrywide services and political or social issues.
Rest assured the specific Department or individual in question always gets a copy, however.
Anyone who would like to write these sorts of letters but has never had the knack or time to do so, or just wishes to fire off a round for the sheer satisfaction, I do take on commissions and I'm usually happy to assist an individual in a cause.
