include much more inFORMation about your work experience.

Dear Allen,
[1] I just received your letter and I want to let you know my
opinion of your plans for the future. I hope you won't take
offense, but will accept what I say here as some fatherly advice.
[2] I was quite surprised when I read in your letter that you
had decided not to finish your studies at the university. I
realize that Peter wants you to marry him this summer. But with
only one more year to go, you would be well advised to finish.
A year is really a short time, and later you will be glad you
postponed getting married.
[3] As you know, my reaction to Peter was extremely favorable
when I met him. He's an exceptionally fine young man and should
be a good husband. But I suggest you complete your education
first.
[4] You are twenty-one, a grown-up young lady old enough to
make up your own mind. This is something you'll have to work
out yourself. As your uncle, I have always tried not to interfere
in your affairs and I don't intend to begin now. But, my dear
niece, please do consider my words very carefully before you
decide. Whatever you do, though, Allen, you know I only want
one thing for you, and that is your happiness.
Affectionately, Uncle John
