	Salutation: saying hello	Dear Mr. Smith
	Body: the main part of the letter.  This is where you state your opinion and offer solutions.	I am very disappointed to hear you are no        longer making Tasty Treat Candy.  They are       one of my favorite candies.  I love the crunchy       coating and gooey center.  No other candy has        the same great taste. All my friends love Tasty       Treats and buy them whenever they can. Please       think about your decision to stop selling this        terrific candy.  There would be a lot of very       happy candy lovers if you continued to sell       Tasty Treats.
	Closing: saying good-bye	Sincerely,
	Signature: sign your name under the closing	Katie Pratt
