Be polite in your message to the prime minister. For example, if you are writing a complaint, be specific about what you're dissatisfied with and focus on the facts, not on your emotions, recommends Claytor. Claytor also advises to “end your message in a positive tone with a phrase like ‘Thank you for your time’ or ‘Thank you for your consideration.’”
