Because, your letter is beatifully written and from the heart. I think it is very impactual because of this. But that last statement sounds antagonistic even if it isn't meant to. The placement at the end of the letter leaves the last impression to be a bit antagonistic, which deflates the impact of the whole letter.

Right. Maybe this is why my English teacher never liked me. o-o'"

I talked to my parents about it briefly before, but I'll show them this letter just in case. Thanks for your advice and support, 'neato. I'm itching to send this. shocked
