FAQ
Sample Format for a Character Letter First Paragraph: Explain who you are. Second Paragraph: Explain why you are writing the letter. Third Paragraph: Thank the court, and make your “ask.” State that you are available to confirm the facts in this letter as necessary.
This means that you should include your own name and address, the date and the judge's name, position and professional mailing address (as used for the court) before you begin the body of the letter. Use a formal salutation ("Dear") and end with a formal closing ("Sincerely").
Writing Your Letter Search for a form letter. Some courts print off forms that you can use to request a hearing. Open a word processing document. Insert a salutation. Add a heading. Begin the letter with your request. Explain why you need the hearing. Provide a contact number. Sign the letter.
Follow the order of this format, leaving a space in between each section: Your Information (first thing that goes on the inside of the letter) Name. The Date. The Judge's Information. Honorable Judge First Name Last Name. What the Letter Is Going to Address. Salutation. Body. Signature.
Judges at the Central Criminal Court are addressed as “Your Honour”. Crown Court judges are usually addressed as “Your Honour” unless they're sitting as a High Court judge (red judge) or are a specially designated senior judge (such as the Recorder of Leeds). In those cases, they're addressed as “My Lord” or “My Lady”.
Most letters have three parts: an opening statement that identifies the project/program where funds are being sought, one or two middle paragraphs that indicate the relationship of the writer to the effort seeking funding, and a closing statement. Be sure all your supporters address the same person at the same address.
State that you respect that the defendant has been found guilty or pled guilty to a crime, and that you are writing the letter to offer a fuller picture of him or her as a person. Include specific examples of how the person has helped you or someone else, or how he or she has been a leader or an inspiration.
Introduce yourself to the Court. Explain how you know (and how long you have known) the defendant. Make it personal when describing the defendant's characteristics. Can you think of examples of good deeds done by the defendant (hard work, dedication to family/church/community, generosity, etc).
The letters should be addressed to ``To Whom It May Concern'' and be concise, ideally 2-5 paragraphs, focusing on sincerity. The content should highlight how the writer knows the defendant, the defendant's positive characteristics, obstacles overcome, potential as a valuable citizen, and future goals.
