I am sending an anonymous letter to our Republican Headquarters about an issue I am having with this years election and the way they are handling campaigning in this area (please please don't bring politics into this), and I am just wondering how I would address the envelope. I would put the sending address, but on where you put who is sending..should i put anonymous?

Sorry, but anonymous correspondence isn't worth reading. It's just the lowest form of communication.

you can. but just know that sending an anonymous letter to a governmental headquarters is kind of shady. i mean just thinking about the issues so many organizations in this country has had with things of that nature, i don't think it would be the best thing to do-it might cause problems in a situation that would've been virtually harmless. if you are in an area that's dominantly republican and that's why you want to be discreet about a complaint that is completely understandable. why don't you try just putting your first name last name initial or vice verse. itd be less mysterious but no one would be able to know for sure who sent it. or send an e-mail to someone in charge of the headquarters you want to address.

I don't think you should send her a letter at all - it's really not the right way to go about it with this problem. You should go round and talk to her - it might seem awkward but it really is the best thing to do, as a letter just seems too formal and strange. Just be friendly and say exactly what you've written in the letter, say "Hi I'm xxx, I live downstairs, I'm really sorry to bother you with this but..." Say it with a smile on your face and make it clear that you want to be mates and not have any rows between you, but also be firm and don't let her just say 'sod off'. Say about people being up in the morning and that you would never want to do anything at 7am when she's in bed that would pee her off. Any reasonable person will be ok with that, but if she gets mean with you then you can start sending letters and saying that you'll make formal complaints and stuff. I've been in this position and I find that although you really just want to tell them being a prat, the only thing that will acheive is to make them be noisier, so you have to suck it up and make them your friend!

If its anonymous then don't include a senders address at all, and sign it something along the lines of "a concerned supporter"

If you are unwilling to sign the letter then don't bother sending it. No one cares about anonymous opinions
