Article: Regardless of your sentiments toward the President, or whether you're condemning or praising POTUS, remember that you're writing to the leader of the United States. Write an honest but respectful letter, stating your thoughts clearly and reasonably. Don't include any threats—overt or otherwise. The White House requests that you either type your letter on an 8.5 by 11 inch (21.6 cm by 27.9 cm) sheet of paper, or if you hand-write it, that you use ink and your most legible handwriting. Format it as you would a business letter, or any formal communication:  Put your name and address, including your email address, at the top right corner of the letter, with the date written out below that. Use a formal salutation, such as, “Dear Mr. President,” Close with a formal salutation, such as, “Most Respectfully,” Print and sign your name. Fold your letter and insert it into the envelope. Add your return address to the top left corner of the envelope. Add a stamp to the top right corner of the envelope. Address the envelope to: The White House1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NWWashington, DC 20500 Seal the envelope and take it to your nearest Post Office, or slip it in the outgoing mail slot. You may get a response after about 6 months, though there is no guarantee, and it’s likely you’ll receive a form letter or communication from a White House staff member rather than a letter penned personally by the President. If you want to make sure your message actually makes it to the White House, add tracking to your letter when you send it at the Post Office.

What is a summary?
Write the letter respectfully. Format the letter according to White House rules. Prepare the envelope. Send it off.
