Thank you @markushoward11 for such a well-written letter. @gwendymcilvaine is impressed with your penmanship

[We R Final Four]

I hope this letter doesn't come back to haunt us around 2032 as a recruiting violation.

Markus has good hand writing and of course an excellent neck.

[Skitch]

The most amazing thing is that he writes in cursive. I didn't even know kids could do that anymore.

[HouWarrior]

Ahhh The soon to be extinct art of the hand written thank you letter.

There is a very nice sharing and warmth to personally hand written notes. As a kid I thought it was kind of silly that my mom always had us write thank you notes for gifts we received. 

I will admit to a tearful moment however when among my grandmother's belongings at her death we found a ribbon wrapped stack of every thank you note we ever wrote. When my mom passed last year I found as with grandma, she saved every letter I wrote her while I was at Univ of Madrid, and traveling through Europe.

texting...emailing....quick/easy but impersonal..next time you hope to touch a heart send a handwritten note

Good job Marcus

Class, class, class. Appropriate for a three-point marvel.

Still needs to work on his subjects and objects: should be "teammates and me."

In the future, handwritten letters will be made by 3D printers.

[GB Warrior]

Grammar errors and sentence fragments ruin it for me.

i was taught to eliminate the my teammates and insert the pronoun me or i to check for the proper form.  so in this case, "i wanted to send a letter on behalf of me doesn't quite work either.  in my opinion then, i guess i would re-word the entire first sentence if i had a doubt.  i do however, see how one could fack this up, but it never really crossed my mind too much.  for all intents and purposes, i  approve this message

Markus will be Wojo's most important recruit ever. Program defining type guy.

It should be my teammates and myself.  But the important part is he wrote a nice letter and it was very kind of him.

Grammar aside, this was a very nice note and reflects well not only on Markus but also on his parents.

He was only 17 when he wrote this.

I imagine the ghost writer inserted that error to make it look like it wasn't ghost written.
