Suggestions to gain money for the fair.

Dear Lee,
I heard that you’re feeling very upset because you
have not enough money to go to the fair with Sam and
Raj. I know you’ve been waiting to ride on the big wheel
and to eat lots of candy floss.
However, I think you should do some jobs so you can
have enough money to go to the fair. In my opinion, you can
get some money by being a baby sitter because I know
you’re really good at taking care of children. Other than
that, you can also help your neighbour to mow their yard. I
hope you can rethink my idea and will have some money for
the fair! I am looking forward to hear from you soon.
