Working as an electroencephalographic transcriber for a major neurologic department in Chicago, and with a background in editing a daily newspaper, I was asked by one of the senior physicians to write a letter to one of his elderly female patients, telling her that he was withdrawing from being her doctor because "she refuses to do anything I tell her -- and since she is a dying old woman, I want her to be convinced that I never intend to see her again, and I am willing to turn over her entire medical history to whoever else she turns to." After I wrote that "on demand piece" as he requested, he simply signed it and walked away. I'll leave it up to you if this is an adequate answer -- it definitely was an "on demand" order, successfully completed. I wrote it in such a way that the patient would not have any grounds to sue him malpractice.
At age 19, in 1956, I invited Detroit, Michigan's first U.S. Representative, Charles C. Diggs, Jr., to be our church's Men's Day guest speaker. He told the large audience: "Out of some 30-odd invitations to speak at different locations this afternoon, I chose to come here solely because of the persuasive letter this young man wrote to me."
That was the beginning of my lifetime of writing persuasive and "on demand" pieces.
