Dear King,
I need money and volunteers to go on a adventure
with me to find more land for our people. And a ship
to travel and I promise you it will be all worth it sir.
And I will need one year supply of food for my men and I. We will have a very long adventure for the search of more land for our country. When we find this land we will ask everybody in the north and the south to move to that new land of ours that we claim.

Dear Mr. president,My name is Spoorthi and I am an explorer. This is my first time traveling and I don’t have money. So I need 2 things. Can you give them to me? One of the things I need is some brave explorers just like me. I also need some money. If you’re willing to give these to me contact me ASAP.

Dear Mr. President,
I am a explorer looking for new land. And I do not have any money or any volunteers. If you could get me a little money and some brave explorers like me, I promise you it will be worth it sir. Oh and me and the other explorers will need food for about a year. If you can't get these things for me I understand, but if you can I will be very grateful. Please contact either way. Thank you.
Signed,
Grace

Dear Mr.Gates,
I would like to explore islands that no one has been to before. I hope to find a native tribe that can teach me how they live off the land. I will bring this information back to kids here to teach them how others live. Would you be willing to fund my travels? I will bring them fishing rods from America.

Matthew N said...

Dear Mr.President,
I am wondering if I could borrow some money to build a ship. I have a dream about finding new land, but I do not have enough money to build a ship. I will come back and tell you about the land that I discovered. I will try to pay you all of the money back. I believe that other people will also want to come with me to see the new lands too.

From,
Matthew N
