Writing a Letter to the Harasser example
People often feel powerless when experiencing harassment and are reluctant to confront the harasser personally. An excellent alternative is writing a letter directly to the harasser.

Mail a copy of the letter to the harasser using registered or certified mail. Keep a copy of the letter for yourself.
The letter should consist of three parts:
1) A factual account of what happened - including details of dates and a description of offending behaviors.
2) A description of how you feel about what occurred - including specific feelings and personal thoughts and opinions.
3) A statement if what you want to happen next, Most writers want the behavior to stop, but if a remedy is necessary, it should be included here.
