Tips on writing letters

[Guest guest]

When writing to a company to ask about the legality of their product, what kinds

of questions do I need to ask besides " were there any sugars or starches used or

added in the process of making this product " ? Am I allowed to ask what " natural

flavors " or " spices " are, or is it legal for me to do that? I want to make sure

I ask the right questions.

Also, if I am writing via e-mail, after I get the company's response, how do I

tactfully ask for them to put it in writing on their letterhead. Does anyone

have any tips for me?

Thank you!

Amber, on the basis of just a couple of tries here;s what I did.

First, if I wrote via e-mail they replied with e-mail even if I asked for

a written letter. If I send a snail-mail letter, they reply that

way.

I explained that I am on a strict medical diet for a few years and this

requires me to know all hidden ingredients in things. Then mentioned,

" such as anti-caking substances, etc, or anything falling under them

not being required to list certain things, or small percentages, on the

labels " . I summarized it by saying I needed to know absolutely

all ingredients in their product ....... no matter how small it

was.

When writing to a company to ask about the legality of their product,

what kinds of questions do I need to ask besides " were there any

sugars or starches used or added in the process of making this

product " ? Am I allowed to ask what " natural flavors " or

" spices " are, or is it legal for me to do that? I want to make

sure I ask the right questions.

Also, if I am writing via e-mail, after I get the company's response,

how do I tactfully ask for them to put it in writing on their letterhead.

Does anyone have any tips for me?

Thank you!
