Formal letter

Dear Sir,
I am writing this letter to express my concern about what happened yesterday, 30th May, with your airline. My name is Martina D’Orazio and my connecting flight to Sri Lanka via Amsterdam had been cancelled.
When I first arrived at the airport, the flight was delayed. However, not even one person come to tell the passengers why this had happened. I felt very disappointed about the airline service towards the passengers.
Afterwards, the flight was cancelled. I was told that is was not a problem of the airline, that we have to complain at the airport itself. I am very turn down because the flight was supposed to take me to see my family, and now am not able to. I have to wait for your refund that come next week.
Finally, I would really like the airline to be more efficient towards giving the passengers a quick respond with the refund. My luggage was handle to me in perfect conditions, but the way I was treated, as well as the other passengers, was disgraceful.
For a future occasion, I hope the airline will treat its customers in a polite and respectful way.
I appreciate your time, I look forward to your reply.
Yours faithfully,
Martina D’Orazio

HI Marie,

How are you? I have to say, I am shocked. I am so sad about how things are done here in Mississippi. I am writing this letter to inform you that white people are so awful, and I feel so bad to be part of this “community”.

These women don’t get the minimum wage and do not have social assurance! Can you imagine that? It is very disappointing how they treat black people, like they are objects. Black women look after their kids, they feed them, wash them, and at the end, white people never say thank you. They take it all this hard work for granted, they think black women were born to do this job so they could not complain at all.  

Are you aware that black people have separated toilets from the whites? Do you know if black women cook for white people, they use another spoon? Like if they were ill! This is something that a woman told me while I was asking her about her.

“Separated, but equal” my “friend” said. Do I really belong to this society? I feel sick. This is not even near to equality! I am not happy at all. One of the stories I heard really make me so sad. This black woman I talk to, told me that she didn’t receive a help from her “boss” (the white person she is working for) when she asked for a loan to take her kids to university. Her boss answered that asking for loans was wrong, that people should have what they have and never ask for more. I am so downed with this situation. Their thinking is a result of always having everything in life, and never have to fight for anything. White people would never realized the privileges they enjoy and black people don’t.

We need to try to change this for once and for all. “Do not hit the children, they like to do it” White people enjoy feeling powerful, despite anyone else. Black women work their whole life for white people, and sometimes they fired them unfairly! They do not even care for their kids, can you possibly understand that? These kids spend their childhood knowing better their “nana” than their own mother. This is getting worse everyday! I feel so powerless, I am unable to help this women.

I really miss you, hope I see you soon!

Skeeter.

Mes vacances

La semaine dernier je suis allée a Paris avec mes amies. J'ai visité la Tour Eiffel, qui ètais très belle. J'adore l' Arc de Triomphe et je suis allée a une pattisseire, ou je mangeais un croissant au chocolat. Je me suis rendu au Musée du Louvre tout le 27 de avril. Paris était la plus belle ville que j'ai visité! 
Il faisait très beau tout les jours! Les Champs Elysées est trés magnifiques et reccommandés!
