Author's Note: Letter to Editor

This type of paper was very new to me when I read through the assignment. Most papers I have written don't have to do with what I think about another persons writing but solely on my views. By writing something like this I feel I have broadened my writing abilities. In my first draft I feel I have written a decent paper. One thing I am worried about is the paper being too lengthy, which is something I'm not used to. I would like input on whether or not I am following the guidelines of a letter to the editor, is this what one should look like?
