Mr. Asturias:
I hope you and your activities are going great. I’m writing to ask your support in a proposal I have. Since everybody at school is talking about the new expansion in the students club range, I’m writing to propose a new club for our school. I want to propose a fight club. I'm not talking about a literal fight club, but rather a debate club. I think that there are many topics that the students will want to discus with others students or with some teachers. The students will have the opportunity to express themselves and maybe they can make some changes in the school.

Many fights in the school start because there are two students who disagree with something. The students start with verbal aggression and then the physical aggression. This club can avoid many fights at the school because in this club you can discuss any topic or situation. The violence in the school will decrease and in return you will have ordered and well-structured discussions. There are many students that have a lot of ideas and their own opinions of something but they need to kwon how to express in the best way without having to resort to violence with other student who disagree. This club will not only decrease the violence but also will teach to the students how to do a good debate. The students will know how to prepare their arguments and counter arguments of the topic under discussion. I think that this is important for the students because they will be professionals and they need to know how to express and argument their opinions, and how to counter argument the opinions of others without been disrespectful with the other person or persons. This club can teach to the students some education about how to discus with other persons and how to get to an agreement or solution with another person without violence and resentment. Also the students will know how to accept when they are wrong and they will accept a best idea or opinion. Your school will have compressible and educated students.

I hope you consider my request. After all, I think a fight club is going to be beneficial for everybody in our school. We have a long way and we still can develop it. For this reason, I hope you write me back telling me your answer and giving back all the things we need to register the club in our school. Hoping this will not cause you any trouble.

Sincerely,
Carlos Danilo De Leon C.
