Dear Sir/Madam.
I am writing to complain about an article in last Monday's newspaper, “Schools

fail low-income children.” As the head teacher of one of the largest junior high
schools in the city. I feel strongly that the article does not describe our school.
My school has children from many different economic backgrounds, but a

large percentage some from lower-income families. Nevertheless, our tests
show that the children do well and benefit from the excellent work our
teachers do. Last year our school moved from 24m to 5th place according to
the official assessment by the state government. This is clearly not the
‘Tailure" that the article suggests.
I would be strongly recommend that more careful research should be

conducted in the future so that your newspaper will more realistically describe
the true situation in our schools.
Yours sincerely,
Joan Gonzales

Dear Susan,
It feels like such a long time since the last time I saw you. I know it's only been
several weeks since I saw you. So far my summer has been great!
I spend my all my weekends at the beach. I am getting a nice tan and you can
no longer say I am paler than you. I have been playing lots of volleyball,
surfing and building a nice collection of sea shells. Just this past week-end I
took second place in a sandcastle building contest!
On the weekdays I work. I drive an ice cream truck around and sell ice cream
to the kids. It is so cool. It is a combination of the two things I love most, ice
cream and kids. The pay isn't too great but I love the job so much.
I hope the summer's been going well for you too. There's only a month and a
half left in summer vacation and after that it's back to school. Would you like
to meet up some time before school starts?
Your friend,
Signature
P.S. John Austin.

Dear Nathan
How are you? Hope everything is okay with you. I’m all right here.
We are going to have the national examination, aren’t we? Are you well
prepared for it? Well, to be honest, I just have some difficulties in preparing for
it, especially in Science. There are extra lessons in my school and I take them
all. But, I feel that they don’t help. I’m still confused in solving Mathematic
problems. I’m just worried that I fail the national examination. Do you have any
suggestion for me? I really appreciate your help.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Your buddy

To all Colleagues and Friends,
As those close to me know, I am not good with goodbyes so I do apologize to

those who feel
offended that I have left having written only this farewell letter, without
personally shaking their
hand and exchanging best wishes.
I have so many people to thank for their support and dedication that it is
impossible to personally get to see you all with the short time that was
available.
I truly am humbled to have worked with such a group of "get in and get it
happening people"
and I am so proud of the achievements that you have accomplished both in the
operation and (for
quite a lot of you) for your own personal accomplishments.
To those of you that I had the opportunity to coach and or set goals for, I
commend each of you
for your achievements and hope that you continue to succeed through life
journeys.
I can be contacted if required on 08159030832. I wish you all a Healthy, Safe

and Prosperous Year.
Thanks, regards and best wishes,
Bill Jones

Dear Big Meal’s representative
I’m writing to inform you that I had a negative bad experience at your location
in Columbus, New Jersey on August 4. My receipt number is 512, and the
person who handled my order was Alex.
First of all, I recognize that you, as the reader of this letter, are not responsible
for my bad experience, but I am still upset about the situation.
I went to the drive through and ordered seven meals with no pickles. When I
received my order, I checked that all of the sandwiches and fries were in the
bag paid and drove away. When 1 got home, 1 realized my number seven had
pickles on it. I’m allergic to pickles, and I didn’t want to waste the sandwich, so
I drove back to the drive through to explain the situation and get it fixed.
I feel very disappointed with this interaction, as I usually enjoy my experiences

at your restaurant. To fix this situation, I would like a coupon for a free meal of
my choice. I think an apology from Alex is also appropriate.
Please contact me at 555.555.5555 or email me back at [email protected]. I

would like this situation to be resolved so I can continue to be a loyal Big
Meal’s patron.
Best,
Jim Korkell
