The letter from the Internal Revenue Service focuses on a new stimulus check passed by George Bush. The primary motivation of the letter is mainly beneficial, focusing on the hundreds of dollars in potential checks included in the stimulus package. It also highlights the ease of qualification (simply filing a 2007 tax return)

The title of the message clearly states the topic of the message, but not what recipients of the letter may be entitled, whether this is good or bad news, and random mail from the government could cause some panic. The body of the message does a very good job of introducing what the package is, what taxpayers may be entitled to receive, and potential exclusions, but does not overwhelm readers with undue complexity or verbosity.

The subject line immediately introduces the focus of the letter, and the first paragraph mentions the most widely-available stimulus benefit, so that if people stop reading after a few sentences, they still have an idea of what they could get.

One possible violation of informational message guidelines is not using specific dates. While the knowledge of "May" is likely to be far enough in the future that it will be clear what "May" it is referring to, it may lose the context after that. However, it does say in the next sentence that payments will be in "2008" but this could be missed, as I initially did.

In terms of design, being an official publication of the United States Government, it seems stately and formal. There is no need for frivolity, and the sharp lines, lack of color, and Palatino typeface make it easy to scan and pick out important phrases.
