Greatest President,
I would like to start off by saying how thankful I am for everything. I have always felt safe and secure under your name, and have done and will continue to do anything that is requested. Even in things that come with great danger, I am willing to fearlessly risk my life for you.
I was once on my own exploring the strange country of Okapaka. When I first ran into the people here, I will be honest in saying that I was a little worried. They dress strangely in ostrich feathers and animal furs, and speak no English. However, seeing that I was a guest needing help, they were very warm and welcoming. They offered me food, water, shelter, and most importantly, friendship. They are very kind people and very helpful.
I am writing to you, my beloved president, with a request. I know it may seem strange, but I would like to recommend welcoming the high chancellor. He is a very kind man that took marvelous care of one of your own during a time of need. I know how great of a man you are and how important friendship is to you. I would not ask of this if I did not think it would benefit everybody involved.
With much respect and gratitude,
(name), 2014
In my letter, I used a very flattering yet humble tone. I was trying to flatter the President into accepting the request. By using the terms such as “greatest” and “beloved”, I hope that the President will feel some sort of respect. I also used a little bit of guilt. For example, when I said, “I know how great of a man you are and how important friendship is to you.” As far as rhetorical strategies, I used Formal Language and appeal to emotion and logic.
