Dear Mr. Powell,
I am writing today to discuss your Wheaties cereal. I know that the box always posses popular athletes. I am a true fan. I myself find this very amazing. I am emailing you politely to discuss an idea that came to my mind. I myself am 16 years of age and I am about to become an Eagle Scout. My idea was to possibly be on the cover of your boxes. It would mean a lot to me considering nobody (other than my parents) believed I could do it. I was bullied for taking interest in scouts in elementary school. And this would mean a lot to me to show everyone who doubted me where I am now.
Thank you for your time, Chandler Harkins
