The letter is arranged in three paragraph, each one with a different function. The first one presents the situation referring to background notes. This is the letter introduction where Trichet and Draghi explain the reason for writing: they refer to previous Governing Council discussing about the needing for Italy to restore the confidence of investors and invite them to invest in Italy.

The second paragraph, based again on background notes, discuss about the thesis: Italy’s need to urgently underpin the standing of its sovereign signature and its fiscal sustainability and structural reforms. This statement is argued into the third paragraph.

There is only an exception into the first paragraph, where a quotation breaks the formality with a medium register tipical of the promise. Concluding, the language convey the situation and measures to be taken urgency.
