Dear Mr. Knightley,
It’s been over two months, and I know you never expected to hear from me again. I never expected to write. But Medill’s admissions director called—I got in!
Someone backed out and I was next on the wait list. I asked her to hold my spot while I checked on my grant, and she gave me two days. Father John is probably calling your foundation right now, so this will be redundant soon—but I felt it worth a letter regardless.
I want to go to Medill, Mr. Knightley. And if given this chance, I promise I won’t fail.
Sincerely,
Samantha Moore
