2. Which elements of the letter are essential to include in your own letter?

It’s essential to include:

• A greeting and closing (e.g., “Your Excellency”, “Yours sincerely”),

• Details of the case (who the person is, what happened, and why it’s unfair),

• A clear demand for action (release, protection, or fair treatment),

• Evidence or support from international organizations, showing the concern is real.

3. How could the letter be improved in clarity or persuasiveness?

The letter could be improved by:

• Using more emotional and specific words to make the reader empathize,

• Including personal or moral appeals (e.g., reminding the recipient of human rights values),

• Making shorter and clearer sentences so the message sounds stronger.

Both letters use factual evidence and moral reasoning to persuade thei recipient. In Ana da Silva Miguel's case, the writer argues that her imprisonment is unjust because it resulted from peacefully exercising her right to freedom of expression, while in Joel Paredes’s case, the writer highlights the reckless police violence that left him blinded and unpunished. The letters appeal to ethics, law and emotion by emphasising human rights violations, referring to legal standards like freedom of expression and peaceful assembly and describing personal suffering to evoke sympathy. Each letter includes a clear call to action: one demands Ana’s immediate and unconditional release, and the other calls for those responsible for Joel’s injuries to be identified and brought to justice

2)The letters are about people who have been unfairly arrested, imprisoned, or hurt for peacefully expressing their opinions, defending human rights, or protesting. They are victims of injustice and human rights violations.

3)The main purpose is to demand justice, freedom, and protection of human rights. The letters call on authorities to release the prisoners and respect the peaceful expression of anyone's opinions.

•The letters describe how specific facts about the human rights have been violated.

•The requests and actions are presented with specific phrases such as "I demand, Calling for the eradication".

•The letter closes with the phrase "Yours sincerely"

•There are two paragraphs in each letter which are used to express an absolute and clear argument.
