Emma is writing a letter to her mayor, arguing that the speed limit should be lowered on her street. Which best describes the tone Emma should use in her letter?

Emma wants to persuade the mayor to consider a change, so her letter should clearly state her concern while remaining courteous. A direct and respectful tone helps make her argument credible and encourages the mayor to take it seriously. An angry, accusatory, or overly casual tone would be less appropriate for a formal request.
