Letter to your mom

Dear Mrs. Ramella,

Please consider me for the position as serving as loving faithful boyfriend to your most excellent daughter, Sueann. I think you will find through my deeds, experience, and life that I am a great man for her. For the past 6 months the majority of my free time has been with your daughter having some of the most memorable joyous experiences I have ever had. I love Sueann very much and would go to great means for her.

Ever since I was little, I knew great things were in store for me. Early life experiences taught me the importance of honesty, perseverance, and hard work. Growing up, I did various jobs to help those in my community and provide for those things I need in my life. My first official job was as a dishwasher/prep cook and I also cooked for my family often, which should be an indication of my kitchen skills. Please have some of my homemade Sueann Friendly bread as a token of this. I love cooking new dishes for your daughter and promise to share in household chores because I see them as a shared responsibility. When Sueann was having an open house and little time to get ready, I took off work to clean and do work on her house.

Through my hard work and dedication, I have received great character references and never had a problem pleasing those I work for. Before I finished my master’s degree, I received a faculty position at Washington State University. This career has a bright future and my talents have been recognized as I have recently received two job offers and a healthy promotion after just 3 years. My teaching and mentoring role is also growing. I am in charge of a new cutting edge analytical laboratory that analyzes samples for forensics, biology, hydrology, astronomy, and global change research throughout the world, with clientele and capabilities growing constantly. My efforts have allowed me to support myself through school and buy a home.

My father and grandfather instilled in me that anything is possible if you believe you can do it. Both also taught me the importance of family. My father left a high paying accountant job to raise our family on an earthy crunchy farm because he cared so much about our experience being wholesome and healthy. My dad built our house, fixed our cars, and raised our crops and animals. I could do the same for my family. With my new house, I learned to do many things with my own hands and do. My hands are good and nurturing life and fixing things that may seem dead, which I think you will agree is useful to have around the house.

My mother taught me the importance of love and understanding. I could always talk with my mother about anything. She taught me to cook and to listen. Through her examples, she taught me how to care for others first, and to do great things without expecting recognition. I am humble because of my mother. My mother taught me to love that which you come from, and respect what you use. She also taught me to be true; I think you will find that I am one of the realest, honest, caring people you will meet.

Last, but not least, I am committed to be active in mind, body, and spirit. This fire for life in me is fueled to new levels by your daughter and her perspective. In symbolism of the new world Sueann has opened up for me, I am giving her the gift of another hemisphere.

My Mother really appreciated your efforts. She was very impressed with Trevor's letter too. PS she said you did a good job buying the crystal candle holder.
