Business Letter to Francesca's

Business Letter to Francesca's Jennifer Colucci 43412 Countrywalk Ct. Ashburn, VA 20147 8760 Clay Road Houston, TX 77080 Dear Francesca's, I am contacting you about how pleased I am with Francesca's new winter collection. I was recently at my local store and was amazed with all of the cute styles your company has to offer. I especially love Francesca's jewelry. I think the big pieces of jewelry a make a big statement. A few months ago I purchased a gorgeous necklace with flowers and I have been wearing it a lot.

Process Writing, Reader's Response, Block 3

Sudiksha  Kochi   M s. Asuncion   English 9H, Block   3   20  Oct  2015         Night   It was as if the light had forged into  an upheaval of darkness, blood dripping down like tears of endless rainfall, and humanity itself destroying one another like hungry wolves without a care in the world. Dawn never broke.  T he hatred that tore apart the perspiration of courage, and brainwashed innocent souls was a prison with no escape. To survive in this cruel existence of life meant sacrificing every morsel of energy and unity into a whirlpool of echoing blizzards, that dipped each person's heart into a black coal sack. It was an inexplicable maze of chanting illusions that never seemed to distance  from the infinite tenderness of love.    Yet  the unceasing  nightmare swallowing the fury of dark flames had made him stronger, defeating all the nimble bones in his b...
