Lauren+C's+Persuasive+Letter

Dear Mom, I think I should have a dirt bike and be able to ride one. I have a aunt that I am really close to, but she lives out in Windsor. On the ocations that I see her, we don't know what to do. If I had a dirt bike, we would both have an activity we both loved.

I completely understand and agree that now is not a good time for a major expense. That is why, I found a someone I know that can get me a dirt bike for free! Uncle Mike told me that through his work company he can get me a bike that is the perfect size, and when I get older and grow taller I can simply trade it in for a bigger size. That way it will not cost any money and will require no work from you. I am willing to buy any other equipment needed, a helmet and a jacket. Even though neither of us know how to ride a dirt bike I know that you completely trust Kim, who is a great rider herself and I'm sure is a great teacher. I have even found a park near Kim's house where I can start and is a safe good place for beginners. This would even allow you to watch me and decide if it is safe enough or when I am ready to move on to better things. I would start in Kim's back yard going 10 MPH and move up safely and slowly. Even when soccer is at it's most competitive time and I have Erin's games to see I am sure there will still be a off weekend in between. Even Pritzker | Olsen, P.A., a premier personal injury law firm says nearly all dirt bike injures and deaths were male. I know that you care about my safety, and I really appreciate you caring so much about me, this is the percentage of people who have gotten hurt or killed on a dirt bike. Thank you for considering to let me ride a dirt bike. I understand that you have your reasons for not letting me. I just thought that it would be a fun thing to do with Kim and a good way to remember grandpa, it would be something we would have in common. You are a great mother and no mater what your decision is I will always love you.
