Hints for communication by E-mail
When sending an e-mail to your state lawmaker, a member of the
Connecticut Congressional delegation, or their staff, follow these helpful
hints:
Identify yourself and reference any previous correspondence or contact
you may have had with their office (e.g. dates you called or sent a letter
and subject of communication)
Keep it brief (3 points); staffers get inundated with e-mail
If your organization has developed some kind of legislative alert with
additional background information, you can attach it to the e-mail.
Always ask for their support.
Put a return receipt on the e-mail so you know it was received and when.
