大統領への手紙サンプル
次の手紙は、9歳の女の子が書いた手紙です。
Dear Mr. President. My name is Andrea King. I am 9 years old. My family and I are praying for you. We are glad you are a Christian. But I have a question. Doesn't God tell us to love our enemies? And if we try to bomb Iraq then they will fight back. If we try to be peacemakers and fix the orphanages and schools then the terrorism may stop. If you don't like my suggestion - then it’s OK. We could try to raise money for orphanages and schools and hospitals. I have tried to collects money for an orphanage in Baghdad, Iraq called Al - Alwiyah Girls Orphanage and raised $1,100 so their generator can work more than two hours a day. (中略)I’d like to share something in the Bible. “Blessed are the poor in spirit.” Also one of the ten commandments are:“ You shall not murder. ” And when we start war or go to war we are killing people. But God would never want us to start wars, let us stop them. I also want to say that you were very brave in 9-11. I would have been scared. Sincerely, Andrea King |
