Dear Lois Lowry:

    This is Mary Tess, and I was writing to you to tell you how much I enjoy your books!  I have read many of your books and I love them all.  Some books I have even read to my little sister!  I hope to keep reading them ans I hope that you keep writing fabulous books.  You are my all time favorite author, and your books inspire me.    

    The book that I like the best would be Because of Winn Dixie.  I think that you wrote the book so well.  Every time that I read it, I ge a different feeling.  You are so descriptive and give so many great details.  Because I liked this book so much, I was wondering if you would write a series to that.  I think that it would be a big hit!
    
    Well, If is was not to much, I was wondering if you would sign the enclosed copy of Because of Winn Dixie?  If you would that would be great!  Thank you so much for your time and cooperation!

Sincerely,



Mary

Friendly letter

Dear Ms. Bishop,

Thank you so much for helping me with my math.  Without you helping me, I would not feel confident to take the achievement test.  I was very worried about taking this test, but you have worked hard.  To work with you has been great!  You are the best teacher and magnificent at teaching and explaining math.  Learning math that I did not understand was fun with you.  Thankfully, I have you as a math teacher.
