Letter
To: Mr. Rich Guy
From: Alim Nurmamedov

Dear Mr. Rich Guy,

I am writing to let you know that I have wrote a program that calculates the area of your
property on Quaker Street. It equals to almost 4000 acres.
Our analysis revealed that the distance between point A and B is equal to 89 ft and the
incline of AB from the horizontal line is 16 degrees.

If you want to make sure that the calculation is right or if you would like to calculate any
other area, I added the program to the attachments, where you can do your own
measurements.

Best regards,
Alim Nurmamedov
