Decent Essays
Professor Caouette,
My name is Catherine Butler from your first year writing class. I am sorry to bother you so late at night I was trying to work on the project part one paper and I can't seem to find the assignment on blackboard. Again I am sorry to bother you about this so last minute the last 24 hours have been a bit crazy for my family. My uncle had passed away last night. I'm not asking for an extension I was just worried you had taken the assignment down.

Furthermore, Katherine Porter builds the plot around Ms. Wetherall’s life and…

Text messaging friends generally allows for emotions to be displayed in a more informal and audacious fashion, whereas writing to an educator requires competent writing skills. The second condition brought to attention was the desired outcome.…

William and Colomb have expounded that, “The more readers resist a claim, the…
