: Letter writing is just one of the many ways that we can do witnessing. I have known of sisters and brothers that went through the newspaper looking for obituaries (death announcements) and researched the family members then wrote them a brief letter included the brochure "When Someone You Love Dies".
That's a nice twist: working their way to salvation by chasing ambulances. Only the lowest-of-the-lowest scuzz-bag lawyers do this. Except for dubs, that is.

In my congregation this was done too. But later on there was a special announcement: the Bro & Sis shouldn`t put FROM: [the adress of the society] on the letter. guess it DID backfire! many people felt it was insulting and preying on people when weak.
