Preferably, a few paragraphs of writing plus a signature which must be representative of the writer’s normal script. This should be a spontaneous piece, written as freely as you would speak – the content is immaterial. Please don’t copy from a book as free expression is lost.
The writing should be done on plain paper, unless the writer usually prefers lined paper.
The writer’s usual pen or biro should be used.
Originals rather than photocopies should be submitted.
I need to know whether the writer is male or female, the person’s nationality (particularly the country where they were educated) and approximate age.
NOTE: People often feel nervous about writing anything because they consider their writing to be untidy. Please don’t worry what your writing looks like because variations in style are quite normal.
