Do you have a passionate point of view on a particular issue? Or maybe just a story you need to tell? Well, POTUS is all ears.

To complete this How-To you will need:

Computer with Internet access
Something to say

Step 1: Plan your e-mail

Plan what you have to say ahead of time, whether it's a personal story or a political opinion.

Step 2: Make your salutation respectful

Begin with "Dear Mr. President" or "Dear President So-and-so." This conveys the proper respect due the office and the title.

Step 3: Use proper punctuation and spelling

Use proper punctuation, spelling, and grammar. The President is not your IM buddy or your follower on Twitter. Treat your message as an important document.

Tip: Compose in a word-processing program so that you can spell-check and proofread it before you send it.

Step 4: Go to whitehouse.gov

Go to whitehouse.gov when you are ready to send your e-mail message. Click on the Contact us icon.

Step 5: Fill out the form

Fill out the required fields in the contact form that appears. Copy and paste your message into the message box if you've written it. Otherwise compose it now.

Step 6: Decide

Decide whether you want a response to your message and whether you want your comments to remain private. Check the appropriate boxes.

Step 7: Click Submit

Click Submit when the form is complete, and your message will be sent.
