include an explicit thesis statement that answers the question.  Your thesis can be more than one sentence.  For the purposes of this assignment, incorporate your thesis somewhere in the beginning of your letter.  Please bold your thesis in your letter.
use multiple pieces of evidence that support your claim.  Your evidence must come from the foundational texts and the short stories.
have a clear line of reasoning and be organized into multiple paragraphs.  (I hope this goes without saying, but you should always aid your reader in following your thinking by breaking your writing into paragraphs.)
be double-spaced, and typed in a standard font (i.e. Arial, Book Antiqua, Times New Roman). 
have as few grammatical and mechanical errors as possible.  Proofread your letter before the final submission.
