Dear  1  Mr. Karlsberg

My name is Taylor Dalton and I am writing to you on behalf of Silver Hill High School’s Jazz Ensemble. Our band director, Mr. Langford, showed us some of your jazz piano  2  recordings, and we were all very impressed. Several students in the Jazz Ensemble got together and decided to ask if you would be willing to perform and give a workshop for our school’s annual Spring Concert.  3 

This is the first year our school has had a Jazz Ensemble. All the players in the Ensemble come from our school’s Marching Band and Concert Band. We are very interested in learning more about jazz music, and about how to be better improvisers.  4  It’s so cool and pretty weird to learn how improvising is more than “just making up music” — it takes a lot of practice and skill.

When this group first began, few of us had listened to very much jazz. Since the  5  begining of the school year, Mr. Langford has  5  introduced us to  5  famous jazz musicians like Duke Ellington, Miles Davis, Ella Fitzgerald, and Billie Holliday. We think jazz music is fun, interesting, and inspiring, and we were excited to learn that there are even some great jazz musicians living in this city today.  6  As a jazz musician, we would be honored to learn from you about your thoughts and experiences.

With this letter, we have also included a copy of the sheet music for a piece we’ll be playing at the  7  Spring Concert: a band arrangement of Duke Ellington’s “Fleurette Africaine.” There is a very interesting piano part for the song, and we were hoping you’d be willing to play it with us.

Lastly,  8  we have all been working diligently to compile a list of questions and inquiries about how to get better at improvising when we play jazz. Perhaps you would be willing to give a short talk about how you learned to improvise music, or to give us some tips for how to practice improvising.

Thank you very much for your time. We hope to hear from you soon.

Sincerely,
Taylor Dalton and the Silver Hill High School Jazz Ensemble

We debated the issue for a long time. Several students were very nervous about reaching out to you.

The Father of the American Revolution

Despite his tremendous influence on the history of the United States,  9  nobody knows who this person Thomas Paine actually was. Paine was born on  10  February 9 1737, in the town of Thetford England. As a young man, Paine worked as a tailor, sailor,  11  and he also was working as a minister, but he found his true calling when he moved to the British colonies in America.

Paine first gained notoriety as the editor of Pennsylvania Magazine, and he became more prominent as political turmoil engulfed the colonies.  12  Pennsylvania later became the second state to ratify the US constitution, after Delaware. In 1776, Paine anonymously published a book called Common Sense, in which he made a persuasive and impassioned case for American independence from Britain. The book’s popularity spread like  13  wildfire; soon there were 200,000 copies in circulation. Once the American Revolution began, Paine published a series of pamphlets called The Crisis. Paine’s work became a source of morale for troops engaged in the bloody war.

 14  Unfortunatly, Paine’s ideas were not popular with all readers. In 1793, he was imprisoned in France for  14  opposing the  14  execution of Louis XVI, who had been overthrown in the French Revolution. He died nearly penniless in New York City in 1809. Nevertheless, Thomas Paine lives on in the present day through his timeless writing.  15  

Thomas Paine’s visionary ideas were far-reaching in scope. American Founding Fathers Thomas Jefferson and John Adams drew heavily on his  16  work, when drafting the Declaration of Independence.  17  In an essay called Agrarian Justice, Paine envisioned a system of social insurance for both the young and the elderly. His innovative idea would pave the way for what would become modern-day Social Security. Paine is also credited with conceiving the name “The United States of America.”

Thomas Paine’s visionary ideas were far-reaching in scope. American Founding Fathers Thomas Jefferson and John Adams drew heavily on his  16  work, when drafting the Declaration of Independence.  17  In an essay called Agrarian Justice, Paine envisioned a system of social insurance for both the young and the elderly. His innovative idea would pave the way for what would become modern-day Social Security. Paine is also credited with conceiving the name “The United States of America.”

Dear Mr. Nielsen:

 18  Me and my wife have been customers of the Swirl Corporation for the past 30 years. We have purchased various household appliances such as dishwashers, ovens, washers, and dryers from the local Swirl outlet store since moving here in the early nineties. We recently purchased a Swirl Eco Energy Star refrigerator from your store to replace our old non-Energy Star refrigerator. The new refrigerator worked well for two months before the top freezer stopped cooling completely.  19  Are energy bills also seem too have increased by about $25 per month since we bought this new Energy Star model.

Upon researching the problem, I found that there have been recalls of several products with  20  serial numbers comparable to us. I spoke to  21  your salesman, Lucas Garcia, at the outlet store, but all he did was tell me to call your toll free number. I called the toll free number and returning the refrigerator was something I was advised to do to your outlet store in order for it to be forwarded on to your distribution facility.

It has been over three weeks since we returned the refrigerator to your  23  store, but, we still hadn’t received a status update. Our energy bills have dropped back to their original level since we switched back to our old refrigerator. Our goal was to reduce our energy bill, so we are still dissatisfied. If you would like to retain us as customers, then please address these issues immediately.

Sincerely,
Horace Whittaker III
