Dear Professor,
Needless to say, your contribution is proving effectual in achieving the objectives
ascribed to the sociology course. I especialy appreciate your challenging, jovial,
and inspiring insights that make us explore untrodden paths. Furthermore, I am
discovering and relishing your sui generis humane qualities, redolent of Robin
Williams in Dead Poets' Society, who went by the alias John Keating, and to
whom I owe my vocation as a teacher.
As for the presentation, it is somewhat frustrating that we did not afford to devote
due time to delve into the valuable cases you made about the ambivalence and
dialectics inherent in sexuality, as well as the impending commodification it might
be subject to. Finally, regarding your question about the contingency of the
revelation, my two cents' worth is that it is a metaphysical query. As such, it is
unlikely that it could find a conclusive answer outside the realm of theology.
Thank you and best regards,
H.

Hi,
I hope you are enjoying the break. I wanted to thank you for your kind words and
encouragements. I really appreciate it and trust me I learned the lesson. However, i just wanted
to mention that 62% is still a passing grade and it's a "D" not "F" actually. Thank you for your
time.
Kindly,
Fadhel

Dear professor Ned,
I am writing you this letter to show you my sincere appreciation to my career at the university .I
would like to thank you for all the time spent in your class and the things you taught me and how
you carefully listened to my challenges ( speaking my mind rather than reciting what's been said
previously) understood them and motivated me to change . And it worked ! Compared to last year
, I became more responsible , professional , and committed , which will help me later on and all
this thanks to you .
Thank you very much

Thank you Mr. Ned for everything you did these past couple of years. You were one of
the few professors that brought hope to this failure of a university. We all hope that the
university hire you again. But if they did not, I just want to say we will miss you.
Sincerely,
Khalil

Jinen can be exasperating, yet she has style. That style is not superficial; it manifests a deeper

potential for Jinen capturing a ‘Blue Ocean’ market some day.

soul. Jinen’s mission is to show up, show off, show us all how haute couture is done.
