        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

132,000 miles on it.   I own a marroon V-8 Chevrolet station wagon 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."
