LETTER FROM SON TO FATHER

My deare$t dad,

Everything i$ fine here in univer$ity. Vancouver i$ $uch an exciting city!I am liking all of my cla$$es. ($cience i$ $o $timulating!) Naturally I am $tudying very hard, and thi$ i$ reflected in my grade$ $o far. I have $ettled in and have made many new friend$ in the re$idence$. I am not a$ home$ick a$ both you and I thought I would be at fir$t. I gue$$ I just needed to be di$tracted by $tudying or going to a few partie$ occa$ionally. My room i$ $mall, but $ettled. I cannot po$$ibly think of anything for you to $end me (A pre$ent perhap$?), but being your fir$t and mo$t favourite $on, plea$e feel free to $end me anything if your heart de$ires.

Keep in touch, Call me on $unday!

Your $on, Ro$$


FATHER'S RESPONSE TO SON

My dearest son Ross,

You have NO idea how happy I was to have received your letter. I kNOw that you are studying hard, but realize that this is NOt enough. KNOwledge is the key to NOt failing in life, and simply studying NOn stop is NOt enough. But I kNOw that you are NOt as dumb as a door kNOb, so you probably kNOw all of what I am saying. Your sister NOreen is doing well as is your mother. I'm sorry that this is NOt as long as you would like, but I am NOt that free at the moment, I have errands to run or your mother will nag at me NOn-stop. As for presents? I canNOt think of anything that I kNOw of that you would require. We canNOt call on Sunday beause Aunt NOella has invited us for dinner, something NOn-edible NO doubt! It's NO wonder that NO-one likes her cooking!!

Take care my Son,

-Dad.
