Mr. Kirshwerer:
Hello! My name is Susanne Farstion. I have to write a letter for school. My Dad says I should write to you. You pulled me from my Mom’s car when she crashed and died. I wear a hat. I am thirteen. I play with other kids. I get good grades. I am in the special needs band. I play flute. I am a flautist. That’s whack! My Dad says you are in trouble now. Your in jail. My Dad says you would like knowing I think about you. I do. Thank you for saving my life.
Your friend,
Susanne
