Your sponsorship aided in the purchase of ten full uniforms and several pieces of baseball equipment for last year’s season. Next month, our company is planning an employee appreciation pancake breakfast honoring retired employees for their past years of service and present employees for their loyalty and dedication in spite of the current difficult economic conditions. We would like to place an order with your company for 25 pounds of pancake mix and five gallons of maple syrup. We hope you will be able to provide these products in the bulk quantities we require. As you are a committed corporate sponsor and long-time associate, we hope that you will be able to join us for breakfast on May 22, 2016. Respectfully yours,
Derek Jeter

Hello Aurora, How are you today? Hopefully you are fine. It's been a while since you left me here alone, huhuhu so sad. My family and I here are missing you a lot. How is Paris? I guess it's very beautiful. Winter is coming soon right? Ah, I really want to know how the winter is. But, most Importantly, please wear warm outfits and don't get sick. And how about your college life? Is it run smoothly as you expected. I guess you will be the best in the class because you are the smartest one haha. Oh, By the way I will be starting my study in January. I'm very excited about it, because it is the first college class. I take English Education as my majority. Okay, I think that's all for now.
