How to have your letter to the editor ignored.

There's no better way to have it ignored than by starting off:

As a new resident of Casper and Wyoming, I am curious if  you recognize yet how you . . . 

Why would anyone local pay the slightest bit of attention to this? 

And on this:

I’m asking the Wyoming Game & Fish Department to feed our wildlife this winter. All the future trends by the weather forecasters say the upcoming winter will be just as bad as last year’s winter.

No, you aren't, you're expressing your views to a handful of people who will read your letter in the mostly electronic Trib. If you want to ask the Game and Fish something, ask them.
