Dear cable company:
The cable has mysteriously stopped working three times in the last two months. Just because you can't figure out why your equipment is shitty doesn't mean you can start charging me for technicians to come out and look at it. You suck

Dear leg, back and arm muscles:

Dear Saunders:
You could always move to Atlanta. They need about 150 teachers minimum to replace all the ones who got fired after the CRCT test cheating scandal. You just need to be here by August 15th.
Sincerely,

Dear Maggie,
I am sorry your teeth are bothering you so much. I wish you slept last night. I know you weren't very happy when I woke yo up early and you were even less happy when I dropped you off at daycare. Please try and have a good day. See you tonight!

Dear sister,
I know you really like this guy. I understand you are so excited to be somewhat 'dating' him. However, I believe it is only going to leave you heartbroken. He has said numerous times he never wants to get married ro have a family, and I know that you do. Try and see it for what it is before it is too late and you are crushed.
Love,
Your sister.
Dear leg,
Please heal fast. You're starting to freak me out.

Dear Borders,

Dear Rusty,
I know you are dying to start this company of yours, but you have to quit eating lunch out so we can have a little more of a cushion before you quit your paying job. Also, would you pick a dam name already. I want to finalize your business plan and get you a FEIN, but I can't until you pick a name.
-Frustrated wife
Dear Weather,
Thanks for the 98 degree day yesterday. It was a nice break. Why couldn't you make it last more than 1 day?
Dear Panda,
I would have to come stay with you :-P Atlanta is a major commute from central VA! My mom said it would be too far away from her grandson for us to move. But I appreciate the offer.
