To the point. Yes, we could do as you suggest and have a standard ET communications format. That would be good for some things. But the European Parliament is the only directly-elected institution in the EU, and our MEPs are supposed to represent us as constituents. So individual letters to our MEPs seem to me important. I think they stand a better chance of being noticed than a circular.
Glad you got some reaction, but you have a seriously committed MEP. My Green MEP (Alex and I wrote to him) has given no response so far. I think we should monitor reactions and list the MEPs who respond and those who don't. Those who don't might get a second dose by e-mail, fax, post. If they still don't respond, the people who will be entitled to kick up a fuss will be their constituents. And they should. And mention ET every time.
But of course, mon ami, we must work towards a standard ET communications policy. We're only at the beginning...
