Persuasive Letter

Dear Dad, WOW! Dad, I just had a great idea! You know how you and I watch Uof L ballgames on T.V. and scream and yell at the ref when he makes a bad call? You know how we go wild when they win or make a great play? How about us doing that in person and going to see the real live U of L ballgame? I know what you're thinking. You're thinking that we can't afford it. But wouldn't you know, I have a solution. I can pay for my own ticket out of my allowance. You might think we can't get tickets because they're sold out. But I could write a letter to Coach Denny Crum asking for two or three tickets and he might just send them. I'll bet Mom wouldn't even want to go. We can leave her at home and you and I could spend quality time together.

It would be a spectacular father and son activity. You will probably say you can't because of your job. But I'm sure your boss would let you off or let you take a vacation day. After all, he's a very understanding man. You might say you don't have the time, but what could be more important than your only son? I'm sure you could find time for me. You might even be concerned about out the car ride being too long. The drive to Louisville is only two and one half hours long. You took me to Florida in a car, don't you think you could take me to Louisville? I can see it now! Thousands of screaming fans, all cheering for Louisville. Lousiville blowing the other team out! You and me loving every minute of it! Now, wouldn't it be terrific if you could take me

to a game?

Sincerely,

Your loving son
