Student Sample:


Dear Aunt Honoria, Alexandra, and Rich,

               I know you are probably worried about me, but I had to do this. Aunt Honoria, Alexandra and Rich can explain to you all the details of how I have got myself into this mess. They can even take you and show you Mr. Peregrine's mirror shop. I love all of you guys, and I am sorry I am leaving, but I will be back as soon as I can if i can make it back. I have to help Moth and I have to save the forest. I'm helping those I love, and that is what is most important. I love you all, and please don't be angry. I have a gift and I have to use it! Just like Mr. Peregrine said!

                                                                                                 I love you,
                                                                                             Darwen Arkwright
