      Write your letter on a plain piece of paper. It can be typed or hand written but make sure you don't include and extra things like a piece of your favorite gum or some other item that isn't made entirely out of paper. Letters going to the white house go through a strict screening process. So if the letter looks odd in any way there is a good chance it will be delayed or even destroyed on suspicion of dangerous content.

      Make sure your letter doesn't contain any wording or phrasing that the White House might think is of a threating nature. It is illegal to threaten the President and a very serious matter that the government does not take lightly. People have been detained for writing threatening letters in the past. So while you can critize if you like, just make sure your letter is free of any offensive material.
