Having done so a few times, I think I can reply to this. Never forget that your writing to a judge, each word and each sentence. Be respectful in presenting information, " I would like to submit"," Please accept" and explain where you get your information from. Use the terms, your honor and honorable very politely and be sincere. Use the basic form of letter writing, greeting, subject and closing. If your able and think you might be offensive think about a lawyer. I have had a lawyer write letters for me and the cost runs from $75.00 and up per page. It depends on what you give them in the way of information to write it.

As the judge is in a position of authority, and possibly in the position to help or punish you, the first thing it to be respectful of his position. So the letter must be polite. Use his or her correct title, and all the proper forms.
Then you must present facts, not opinions or here say. The judge will base his decision on facts and what the law says. If you have proof of the facts, attach it to the letter. This makes your position stronger. If you have witnesses to the facts you present, give the name and contact numbers and addresses for the witnesses.
You can also present arguments, politely and backed up with facts, about your viewpoint on what should happen with the case.
The judge wants to make the right decision, it is your job in this letter to present him with good reasons to support your side of the case. If you are abusive or disrespectful, he will not take a second look at your position.
Best of luck to you.

Don't insult him/her. Put sources (unbiased) in your letter along with links to where to find them. Make sure you give the case number along with the gist of the case before stating your issues on the matter.

Have your attorney do it (along with a letter from your doctor). Doing it without an attorney is a big mistake.

Depends on the charge doesn't it. Are you positive you are right?
You might try rephrasing your question, you have provided little detail.
Cheers.
