Im writting a persuasive letter, and was wondering if I could use the word "I" as if talking about me in the letter.
Ex: I beleive in not raising the age limit to get a restricted license.
Would that be a valid statement? Or should I put:
The age limit of getting a restricted license for driving a moto vehicle should not be raised.
Please help, thanks a lot.

If I was a smart aleck, I would say yes you can use I because you have the ability to type the letter I.
In reality, it depends on who you are sending this letter to. It's more formal if you do not use the word I. On the other hand, if you are trying to be personal with a personal story I is pretty effective. My advice is be formal. Don't use I. Good luck with your letter.
The age limit for getting a restricted license to drive a motor vehicle should not be raised.

The best way to persuade your audience is to evoke emotion from them.
Try to include them in it so they feel like they're a part of a unified whole.
Ex: The age of getting a restricted license should not be raised because it would limit OUR rights...or something of the sort.

How about this idea. Convince them to buy more recent books for you kids and try to get newer items such as lab tops so that you don't need to waist paper and it helps out the environment because you don't have to cut down as many trees

Depend on what you say about. If "the raising the age limit" is already a fact, don't use "I", otherwise, you can use it to express your opinion.

yes because a persuasive letter is trying to persuade people to agree with you.

Use "one, many people, the consensus is etc" it makes it as though more people agree with your opinion or arguement. "Many people believe that raising the age limit...."

"I" would recommend avoiding the use of "I" in a formal persuasive letter.

No, "I" is not generally used. But in expressing your opinion, "I" should be used as needed and not more.

Yes but only use it when you need to.
