Show transcript
We can imagine Sherlock Holmes receiving lots of letters from potential clients asking him to help.
We can imagine Holmes would only take on interesting cases, perhaps from people in desperate need.
A letter to Holmes would have been formal in tone, given his position in society.
A persuasive letter contains elements of both persuasion and explanation.
The explanation must be coherent and a range of persuasive devices can be used.
