Kathryn Greenup and I have a fictional character of Kathryn named Kathy Green. We refer to her a lot and as Kathryn started using her in this course I decided to join in. So I wrote her a "Dear Kathy Green" We collaborated on this assignment and she will respond to my letter with her "Remix"
Enjoy!
Dear Kathy Green,
Here I write with a traumatic experience. (I don't want to vitiate anyone or their identity nor do I want any bruit to go about. So I will use fake names for my story)But I don't want to In medias res my story so I will start from the top. I have a friend, lets call her Kelly. She is a sweet maladroit girl, but you have to love her. Lately Kelly has ensconced a drinking problem. Now I'm a Iconoclastic person and believe this is not acceptable, but I'm no modulate so I do not know how to help her. She is not a maudlin person but is sure acting like one. I want her to be the salubrious person that I know she can be but I cant internecine the situation She is in a abortive state with contumelious behavior, I don't want to come of portentous to her, I just care about her. I know you don't have prescience powers but I need your help and need to know there is some hope for Kelly. Please be the dictum to my worries, this is no waggish situation I am done with seeing my best friend being touch stoned by her image.
Sincerely,
Worried
P.S: I feel bad this can't be a quid pro quo situation.
