It is important that
you personalize each letter that you compose for each individual. It is
very easy to discover if a person is sending out numerous letters to the
inmates using a duplicated letter and changing only the name of the
inmate. This is not a sincere effort and will not produce the desired
results that you would hope for. It is also highly recommended that you
prepare your letters on a computer or by using a typewriter. This makes
it much easier for the men to read your letters. If you have a very neat
and presentable penmanship then handwriting would be more personal. You
will have to be the judge of which method you want to use. If the
inmates were given a choice of how their letters were written they would
usually choose the more personal handwriting method.
