A letter to my Mayor

Hey everyone! I am working on writing a humerous letter to my Mayor about getting a theme park in Houston, Texas. What sort of things makes a persuasive letter stand out? Anyone interested in reading the letter let me know and I'll e-mail it to you. I'd post it up here but I already wrote it and I can't copy and paste!

Yes, I am interested in reading the letter. I would make a point of what benifits the city. If you are an expert in anything related to this topic let the mayor know so there is some validity to your plan. Would this be a reliable source of income for the city and for residence of the area especially college students? Can you write a grant or something along the affect to bring money into this project? The mayor might not want to pull money out from where it is already alocated to go. Is there others that are on your committee for this project? Do you have land to donate? There are many questions that are pro and con for this development. Hope this is a positive journey!

Statistics make things more persuasive for sure. If you can find stats on your town/state such as how many people live there, and their age ranges, that might be a good statistic to point out how many people would use it locally. Also, if you looked up statistics on OTHER states that added a theme park to show the income they brought in, or how it helped their state. Those types of stats will make you look more serious and give them something to think about. Good luck!!

I Hope in Houston Texas where you live there is a big property where you would suggest putting this theme park. You need to suggest in your letter where is possibly could go and then of course whta type of theme park. It could not be related to Disney unless Disney has already suggested to do something of this nature. You want a theme park but it would have to be a theme park not related to any other theme park unless you can get accepted from one of those other named theme parks already built to build one in Houston. It is not a little procedure to go through but a big one. If you can think of something you would like and can come up with a name then that might work and be perfect, then of course your city or county you live in would have to have money to do built it. Sorry if i did burst your bubble on this, but there are a lot of things to think about when doing so.
