What should I do if I'm writing in pen, and make a mistake?

Start again; don't cross anything out or use white out. The letter should not include any mistakes as this can be seen as sloppy and that you uninterested.

Question

How do I meet The Queen?

Community Answer

You have to be invited. If you have done something extremely special, you might have this opportunity. Otherwise, you will most likely not be able to meet T Queen. Get into volunteering, helping others, solving social problems, running a multi-million business, become famous or do politics, and you might have a chance.

You may, however, it must be sincere and polite. Refrain from using internet meta language. such as "lol" and "haha". You will most likely receive the congratulations in the form of a letter from her aide or lady-in-waiting.

I wish to write The Queen inviting her to an event I am hosting. What should I write?

It's unlikely Her Majesty will attend, but the general tone of the letter should reflect the importance of the event. There should be a reason The Queen would like or want to attend.

Question

Is there a way I can make sure The Queen reads my letter?

Community Answer

No, you can't. She is the queen. It is courteous and kind of her to even let you mail her a letter in the first place. She does not need to reply to your small affairs for she is the queen.
