Borrowing words from Potter Stewart and applying them to junk mail, it’s often hard to define, but I know it when I see it. So do you.

• Be direct. Tell the person you’re mailing to why you’re doing so and what you hope to gain from having done it. If you want the reader to do something, tell them in simple terms what you want them to do.
