		<description>Humour is a legitimate tool of persuasion. There&#039;s a much greater chance that this letter will be read than any other letter regarding the Pygmy Hedgehog. </description>

		<description>&quot;What makes you think this isn&#039;t a serious issue? &quot; 
 
Your tone, basically. I don&#039;t think the Peter Garrett would take that letter particularly seriously. It has a lot of the payment-via-shark-picture vibe to it. Is it the kind of image you want someone like him to have of you if you were to write as a Christian minister in support of, say, religious education in schools, or something? It&#039;s not the issue that&#039;s the issue, but I just get the feeling your approach might be shooting yourself in the foot somewhat for the sake of a few giggles.

		<description>You said you like honest criticism, so... 
 
I wonder if you aren&#039;t burning some important bridges? 
As a future (I assume) church and community leader, I wonder if writing these kinds of letters might come back to bite you in the proverbial should you ever want to write to these politicians on serious issues? 
 
Other than that, they&#039;re pretty funny! </description>

		<description>Great letter to PG Nathan.  Although you forgot to mention the most persuasive piece of information:  you go to church with one of his relatives.  Yes, Peter G is my aunt&#039;s sister&#039;s husband&#039;s cousin.  Your pygmy hedghogs are surely a shoe-in. </description>
