Hey Mom,

I hope you have been having a great week so far. Everything is going smoothly here. I’m writing you not only to say hello, but also to talk to you about this summer. We have already agreed that I am going to need a summer job, which I am all for. What I am asking, is that you get a car for me so I can get to and from this job, without interfering with your schedule. There is a car on the market now called the Toyota Prius, which is a hybrid vehicle. I have done some research, and this car is able to get up to 45 miles per gallon, which means gas will not be as expensive either. But, the thing that makes this car so great is that it is extremely affordable at 21,000. The major issue we have discussed is the money and I know this is expensive, but that is the price for a brand new 2008 model, which means we can find another Prius for much cheaper. Also, the insurance cost. With a job where I can work anytime, and get there anytime with this car, I will be able to pay for the insurance or most of it each month.
Joe,
I appreciate you concern with interfering with my schedule, but right now, there is no way i even have the money to buy this car, or a car in general. So there really isn’t anything I can do. I’m sorry about that. Again, I appreciate your concern, but I have no problem with changing my schedule somewhat to accommodate you. You are my son, and I love you. Take Care.
Love Mom

Mom,
I was expecting that so no harm done. But I was wondering if there was any way we might be able to compromise on this situation. Would it be possible to work out a schedule, where a couple of days a week, you could take the bus to work, so I could have your car for the day and to get to work. Another compromise I wanted to ask you about is if I save up my money from this summer, could you put money towards a car for next summer along with mine from this summer? I don’t need an expensive car, just need to get from point A to point B. All for now, think about it and get back to me
Love,
Joe
