Paul Young February 20, 2009 Sandra Baker Dear Sandra I am writing this letter to congratulate you for your first article published in newspaper. I was excited to read your first article published in the esteemed newspaper "The Herald". The headline "Can racism impact young minds" was quite interesting and attractive. The article dealt with survey and analysis of young students from different countries who study in New York. It brought out new facets of racism and its influence on youngsters. The article was really good and worth reading. I have read a lot of your articles and reports from our college days. I know well how good a writer you are. But today, it was fabulous to see your article featuring in one of the leading dailies of the country. It is a great achievement. You have worked hard for this day. Your patience and determination has paid and now all of us will be reading your articles in this newspaper on daily basis. Your ethics have helped you to reach this place. My best wishes for your future endeavors. Once again, I congratulate you on your first publication. I read the entire article and enjoyed it. I will personally come down to meet you when I will be in the town next month. I will contact you on phone or email you once my travel plans are fixed. I am looking forward to meet you. Yours truly, Paul Young |
