    Oh god, you just got me worried there.
    i just put a heading as if it were in a newspaper. I put " Advice on how to give Advice: Think before you speak" or something like that, then just started writing, i had no salutation or signing off, i thought of it as more of an article opposed to a letter, as an open letter isnt really adressed to any one person or group of people :/

    What did you do? Eeek.

    Tbh i think both will be accepted, mine was more suited for a newspaper article but yours was more letter format. I should probably have signed off though! Anyway both should be accepted, and mostbof the marks will go for what you wrote anyway!! Best of luck for the rest!
