I am glad to learn of your interest in baseball. I like baseball
very much. I was born and raised in Baltimore, Maryland, so my favorite
team is the Baltimore Orioles. They are doing badly this year. You can
see their official website at
www.theorioles.com.
What is your favorite baseball team? I always liked the title in
Japan,
"The Whales."
I own two automobiles. One is a dark red 1989 Ford Taurus with

100,000 miles on it. I also own a dark red Chevrolet GMC Jimmy that my
third son drives.
At the end of this message is your corrected message. In your
messages, I will correct mistakes like this:
If a word or letter does not belong, then I will type
xxxxxx under the word or letter that does not belong
If words or letters are wrong, I will type the correct
word or letter
underneath what you have written.
To start with, the beginning should always be:
Dear Professor Stiner,
We never use Dear <insert name>. We always use Dear <Mr., Mrs.,
Dr., Professor, etc.> <last name>. We never write the full name after
"Dear."
