EXAMPLE OF PEN PAL LETTER

Hi,

My name is Mitzy Flores. I live in Las Vegas, Nevada, and I am a nurse. I am also a mommy. I have two children. They are older, but sometimes act really silly and they forget how old they really are. I like them alot. I am writing to you because I was feeling a little lonely, and wanted to make new friends. Sometimes, it is really hard for me not to be in the hospital. Silly thing uhh? I am sure you don’t like being in the hospital. But I like being at the hospital because I get to meet some very special people, like you, super heroes! I miss that, that is why I am writing to you. I want you to tell me everything about you! Do you have any brothers or sisters? I don’t. I am an only child. What are they like? Do you have pets? I have a two dogs. I have an old doggy who is 11 years old. His name is Napoleon, but we call him Nappy. We named him that because his tail looks like a flag waving in the air. He is a funny little dog, he has a little pop-belly. He has that because he a disease and makes his belly grow. I have to give him injections two times a day so he feels good. For the most part he is a very happy doggy. Nappy, has a dog sister. She is about 10 times his size. She is a blue-nose pit pull. She is a very beautiful dog, her name is Athena. We named her that because she is grey and has grey/blue eyes. She really does look like a goddess. She is a sweet dog, but a lot of people are afraid of her because she looks different and maybe scary. But, when people take the time to learn about her, they learn she is a service dog. She helps children feel better. Want to know what my most favorite thing is aside from my awesome doggies? Plants! I love plants! I have so many of them. All different shapes and sizes. I like to grow them and if its the right plant, I like to add it to my cooking? What is your favorite food? Mine is sushi! Yup, I like eating raw fish…. yummy!

Ok, I think that I asked you alot of questions! I hope you can write back to me. I would like that very much. I am sending you a few pictures of my doggies, and me. Even if you don’t write back to me, I just want to tell you that there are alot of people sending you much love. I hope you have a beautiful day today. I cant wait to meet the super hero that is you!

See you later,

-Mitzy
