For more than fifty years, the Rebbe received hundreds of letters every day at his office in "770" Eastern Parkway. People of every background, occupation and level of observance would turn to the Rebbe with their spiritual and material concerns and requests for blessing.
Today, people continue to send letters to be placed at the Rebbe's Ohel for blessing and guidance.
One's letter can be written in any language. When referring to one's own self or mentioning someone else's name in a letter, one should always include the name and mother's name (e.g. Isaac the son of Sarah). It is preferable to use one's Hebrew name. It is customary that Gentiles use their father's name.
There is no specific heading required for the letter.
The Rebbe would frequently insist that even the loftiest of thoughts must be translated into actual deed. On the anniversary of his passing, let's celebrate the Rebbe's vision.
Let's honor his life's mission to bring goodness and kindness into this world. On this special day, please increase in learning Torah, reciting an additional prayer, and giving some extra charity. You can use this link for Tzedakah www.JewishAltamonte.com/Donate.
Let us try and apply some of the Rebbe's care and selfless dedication to our own interactions with family, friends and total strangers. There can be no more fitting tribute to the Rebbe than millions of good deeds, Mitzvot, performed on this day.
May these collective good deeds hasten the coming of Moshiach, bringing blessings of peace, healing and prosperity for all of humanity.
