Hope you are doing great. I am writing this letter to you to seek permission for going
with friend spend the night on Friday. I like to go to the Forum for the first time. I knew you
always worried about me so that I needs to take permission from your side. Sometimes, it
become challenging for me to communicate going outside. But I will ensure that I always used
my own rhetorical skills and also take care myself. Initially, you did not listen my opinion or
view point, but afterwards, I would be explained the current situation or condition.
However, I will give the both condition such as pros and cons when I am talking with
friends. He will arrange all facilities so that it become easier for me to spend night with friends.
Pros is that when I can use my own abilities to participate in the show as very much excitement
where really want go into the forum. I want to spend a time with friends and enjoy life with full
of excitement (La Bua, 2019).
I request you to allow me join the forum first time and please give permission because I
never go against their decision. I always want to support in terms of encouragement or
motivation. I always respect to their decision but seriously, I did not miss that chance. I hope
