Dear pen pal,
According the the district and my writing teacher, pen pals are something everyone must have. Obviously you're school seems to agree as well: if not, I'm possibly talking to the wrong person.
I should start off by telling you a bit about myself; although, as I've mentioned previously, you could be a random stranger. Could you imagine that?? Randomly stumbling across a students letter to his pen pal. How embarrassing.
You're probably wondering why I'm stalling the whole "hi my name is ___. I am ____ years old. I live in ____". I am too. I cant help but think what other people would say if they read the information I plan on exchanging with you.
My dad says the person who introduces themselves first is always the bigger person. Being a child, I know this introduction might be the only thing big about me. So the moment I've dreaded since I started this letter has come.
Hi my name is Jonathon Kent. Or just Jon; jonno when my parents are up to it. I'm you're new pen pal. I' wish I could tell you more but I don't want to sound so full of myself.
But until you've decided to respond, this is the end.
Sincerely,
j. kent
Dear Jon,
I wouldn't have told you my name in the first letter. Well maybe my first name, but most definitely not my last. You've now made it easier for me to find out who you are. Don't worry though, I'd rather find out more about you from the information you've given me.
Oh- I should probably mention your letters did ,fortunately, not end up in the hands of a 40 year old man. Unless you count my butler whom handed it to me.
My name is Damian- damian Wayne. Just Damian. Nothing more. I'm in the eighth grade. Although I should be far ahead but my father wants me to have a "normal childhood". Hah. Being the son of someone like him, normal childhood isn't even on the scale of what my childhood.
I have to say: 12 years and already such a proper grammar. How's that possible? Most of the sixth grader papers I've come across are absolutely horrible. I cant even make it to the second sentence.
I hope this letter reaches you safely and all in one piece.
With great admiration,
D. Wayne
Dear Damian,
A butler! How could you expect to have a normal childhood with a butler! I cant even imagine how much money you must own to be able to afford someone such as a butler. I have loads of questions to ask about him. What's his name? Is he a super butler like Artemis Fowl's butler ? Does he get treated fairly? Oh, I hope you treat him fairly. If you don't, I don't think I could continue our exchanges anymore. YOU BETTER TREAT HIM FAIRLY! Does he do everything for you??
I'll stop bombarding you with questions about your butler.
onto my proper grammar: my parents are news reporters. They write articles, good ones I suppose. I do believe my mom is better than my dad, since she did win a Pulitzer (which apparently is a big deal). I guess I got my writings skills from them, which I am very thankful for.
Btw: I'm glad you handled all my sentences.
Sincerely,
J.kent
Dear Jon,
What type of person do you presume me to be? I can assure my butler isn't even much of butler. He's more of a sort of grandfather figure mixed with a mother figures I never got to have. He's been in my father's life from the very beginning. He gets payed VERY well and treated with nothing but respect. He even receives respect from my brothers, which is insane. They're absolute imbeciles.
