• Black or other colour than blue signature
• Typeset, slick-looking lift letter
• No guarantee
• Weak teaser or headline
• Exaggerated claims (you must establish credibility)

• Copy is too short – not enough reasons to buy
• Copy is boring
• Long paragraphs – should be five sentences or less
• Few or no subheads
• No free bonus
• No close
• Copy doesn’t flow logically from one paragraph to next
