text: can someone please let me know how to write a motivational letter.?   hello there,  i think it would have been better if you would have provided the context of your letter. now, i don't know whether it is a letter from a boss to his/her employees or from a father/mother to his/her son/daughter or any other.  nevertheless, i will try and answer your question with some of my ideas- 1- put a suiable heading. it would be better if it is a famous quote or something. you can search for a good quote here- http://www.knowledgefound.com/context/index.cfm  2- don't sound like a preacher. try to be friendly and warm.  3- use simple & understandable language. the reader should not need a dictionary to read your letter.  4- there are some great father-to-son letters written by some great authors and philosophers. you can search for such literature in a public library. you can also search for them on the internet.   5- use some real life examples to substantiate your point.  6- don't wander away from the topic. your every new sentence should be in continuation to the last one.  i hope i helped you. good luck. :)
