To whom it may concern, These are the instruction to two essays that are due in about
four weeks and the other in seven to eight. i have Thesis statements that are due around
the third week. Sense we just started, I would like to get ahead of the game.
I will be leaving country around those dates when they are due. Can you help me? I've up
loaded the information sheets for the Essays, and Thesis Statements. I was wondering
which one would be good, or what can I do about this? Thank you for helping me get
started and moving.
