Fantastic persuasive letter by Maria

Dear Dad,

                     Do you want me to feel left out, upset and over tired? Do you want me to be bored and to hide in a dark corner because I’m not like everyone else? Do you all the children to laugh at me because I don’t have the same gadgets as them? No? Then I suggest you buy me a new, shiny phone.

Firstly, you my hard working, amazing dad, should buy me a brand new phone; I study extremely hard to make you proud. Specifically, I attend Bulgarian school on Sundays, I also have tuition  on Tuesdays and I attend booster classes after school along with school itself! Don’t you think it’s a little too much for a 10 year old girl? Yes? Did you know that 97% of the children in year six have a good phone, which they constantly use?

Moreover, imagine if I get lost and I need help, Imagine if I get hurt on the way home, Imagine if I forget to tell you that I have a club and you are home worrying for my safety. Do you want all of these awful things to come true? No? Then please, please may you purchase me a good looking new phone for my very own safety. To be specific, a couple of weeks ago I was worried if you were ok because you were late and I didn’t know where you were. Dad, my kind caring father, a new phone will make both of our lives easier; you, for example, get extremely worried for me, which is normal, when you are late but with a phone I can tell you if I am ok and where I am in school.

I completely understand that some caring people, like you, might think that I’m too small to use a phone. True? False! I am sure that I’m not. Although, I strongly appreciate your thoughtfulness I am sure that I’m old enough to care for my own phone well. In conclusion, I promise you that I will take good care of my future phone by keeping it in a safe place like home and by buying a safe, stable case to be 100% sure that it will be ok.

In summary, If you want me to study even harder, if you want me to be safe, if you want me to be calm then may I request for a brand new, good looking and cheap phone? Thank you very much for reading this letter.

Your Sincerely:  Maria Marcheva
