President-elect Barack Obama The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW Washington, DC 20500

Dear President Obama, Congratulations on your win of the 2008 presidential election. I truly believe that you could make the change our country needs and lead us in the right direction. There are so many issues our country has been faced with, and of course all of them need to be dealt with. However, I believe that one of them is more urgent than the rest; that I have been personally affected by. The economy is plummeting and millions of Americans have already lost or are in jeopardy of losing their jobs. Both of my parents are concerned about all the bills we need to pay. My father’s employer is terminating about five-hundred positions so he is working much more now than he has been recently in the past few months. My mother is considering a second job so we will be able to afford groceries and other necessities to support my brother and I. We are not a poor family, it’s just the current state of the economy at the moment. I realize that this may be a difficult task to fulfill, but I think you’d be able to accomplish it; not only for my family, but for the rest who are also struggling. I thank you so much for taking the time to read through my letter. I also wish you luck for your turn in office, as the president of the United States of America.

Sincerely,

Melissa
