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 relate to another one of my hobbies and something I am particularly good at (I abhor false modesty) - writing the classic "Dear Sir or Madam" 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 the usual nonsense or avoidance will not be tolerated, the fact that they are dealing with someone who will not just give up and go away, and a fair injection of (sometimes by necessity) 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 just for the sheer satisfaction, I do take on commissions. I'm usually happy to assist an individual in a cause.
I'm not free, but I'm cheap - a Kopparberg Pear Cider and a bar of chocolate usually suffices.
