WRITING FORMAL LETTERS Dear Cristina Fernández, I wanna take this opportunity to write a few lines in the light of the events that have just occurred in our country. Nowadays I am a worker and I get up early every day to make many people happy , but I don’t like my job very much. Anyway, I get paid and I try to do my best to make my boss happy and to keep my word. My salary is really very low and I can hardly ever make ends meet. Anyway, I don’t complain much and do my best. The reason I am writing is to let you know that this 99-day strike, has ruined me. My boss has just told me he cannot pay my salary and, on top of that, prices everywhere have gone up again. I have a mortgage to pay and a family to support. I wanna ask you if you or your opponents have ever considered that aspect. I would love to be considered in your next decision-making just because my baby can’t wait to be fed or my bank won’t understand why I can’t pay my debts on time, no matter how much I try to explain it to them that it just isn’t my fault. Hope to hear from you soon, Cheers, Agustín Genuo
