Dear Zion,
I am happy to write this letter to let you know what I would do if I were an
Eze. As you know an Eze is a rich and powerful person. If I were an Eze, I would
help the poor people in the town. I would pay the school / fees for the children and
give money to schools and churches. If I were Eze, I would try to keep the peace in
my town. I would help the people to get light and water. I would punish any person
who beaks the law. Zion, I know you would think that I would marry many wives.
I would build a new market park in my town. Zion, don’t you think I would be a
good Eze, if I did all these? Please greet your parents, brothers and sisters.
Yours sincerely,
Emma
