Persuasive Letter

Dear Mom,
     You’re the only mom I will every have and I love you. As your only child and only daughter there are a lot of things you do for me and I don’t always take the time to say thank-you but I'm doing it now. Sometimes it may seem like I don’t appreciate you, but those are probably the times I actually appreciate you the most, like when you discipline me. I’m always appreciating you, you helped me through the good and the bad. Even though you did so many great things for me with nothing in return but a simply thank you, there is this one last thing, I really want to get a hair cut.

     I know you have some objections which is, why I would like to address them. Some of them I do agree with, like you don’t want a stranger cutting my hair, but don’t forget that my Aunt Maria is an excellent beautician and she could cut my hair. Most likely it would not cost a lot, maybe even none at all. I know it might end up looking ugly or not the way I expected it to be, but it’s okay I could just keep it in a ponytail or a bun no one would know the difference. I probably would just be happy I got it cut. Also another idea is that my Aunt Maria can cut two inches at a time then so we can picture what my hair will look like. You say it looks nice the way it is, I know it does there’s nothing wrong with my hair. However doing certain things such as putting my hair in a ponytail, or straightening it can be challenging with long but also thick hair. Most of all it’s my hair and don’t you want me to be comfortable on how my hair looks?
     I hope this letter cleared up all of your concerns on this topic, and even make you start to question your decision. Thank you for taking the time for reading this letter.


                                                           Love You Always,
