Read the following Context! Then, brainstorm the ideas and give your

Benny has sent a letter to Rudy asking for his opinion about his problem in

managing his fund. Benny has not had much enough. He is confused to decide

whether to buy a bicycle to take take him to school or to run a small farm in sheep

animal husbandry.

As Rudy, write a letter to Benny giving response and opinion about his problem.

The top of the letter (Greetings to Benny)

Briefly describe Benny's problem. Tell me how you feel if you were Benny.

State clearly your position (as Rudy) agree to the use of Benny's money to buy a bicycle or whether for goat breeding business capital. Give reasons that support your opinion.

Give good wishes to Benny for your opinion

cover letter

ANSWER: 

Hi Benny, How r u? I already read ur letter that u sent to me, and heres my answer

From what I read and caught, your problem is in money management and you are hesitant to make a decision, huh? I understand, if I was u, I would be confused too.

I agree if you want to use your money, because you really need it. In my opinion, it's better if you use your money for goat farming, because later you can get a bigger profit from there as long as you manage it well and can buy the bike you want. for now you can go to school using public transportation or walk there. 

I hope my opinion doesn't bother you and can help you. I wish you good health and success always, I hope you find a way out
