What this tool does
This interactive tool helps you create a compelling open letter addressed to any person or organisation you want to challenge, persuade or hold accountable. You provide the key details about your argument, and the tool structures them into a professional public statement.
Open letters are powerful because they make private concerns public, putting pressure on the recipient to respond while building awareness of your cause among readers.
When to use it
Use this tool when you want to make a public appeal about an issue that matters to you. This could be addressing a company about poor service, calling on a politician to change their position, or challenging an organisation's policies. Open letters work particularly well when you have tried private communication without success.
The format is also effective for raising awareness about broader social issues, environmental concerns, or community problems where you want to galvanise public opinion alongside your direct appeal.
How it works
You answer seven straightforward questions covering who you are writing to, what the issue is, your main argument, what action you want them to take, and what tone you prefer. The tool then structures these elements into a well formatted letter that makes your case clearly and ends with a strong call to action.
The whole process takes about two minutes. Nothing you enter is saved, and you do not need to create an account. Once generated, you can copy the letter to publish on social media, send to newspapers, or share however you choose.
