Formal Letter Writing 
Formal Letter Writing
As part of our mission to come up with a solution for our daily struggle with the water disposal, we must make a formal letter to Mr. Kevin, convincing him to approve our project and help us make it a reality. It must be as general as possible, meaning that it must apply for whichever proposal is the winner (even if it’s not yours).
