Addresses for Final Exam Business Letter

mrsgrace — Fri, 14 May 2010 14:24:40 +0000

Below are the addresses you’ll need for whichever business letter you choose to write. Pick the correct one for the letter you’re writing. Do NOT double-space them the way they show below. I just can’t figure out how to get the computer to STOP double-spacing!

This one is for Mr. Underwood who owns the Maycomb Tribune in the city of Maycomb. If you write to him, you will be arguing that Tom’s verdict was fair or unfair, using evidence from the trial. Be sure to include at least 2 quotes

Maycomb Tribune

12345 West Main Street

Maycomb, AL 67890

The next address is for the real Mr. Hust who used to be our principal at OHS and who thinks we ought to quit teaching To Kill a Mockingbird. He thinks it’s out-dated and that we ought to spend the 7 weeks teaching essay-writing instead of the novel. Tell him whether or not you agree or disagree with him and explain why using at least 2 quotes from the novel.

Chaffey Joint Union High School District

211 West Fifth Street
