Jamaican Pen Pal Letter

Dear Pen Pal in Jamaica,
Hello, my name is Erick Tompkins and I’m a boy. I am from Presque Isle Middle School.
I live with my mom and her boyfriend. I go to my dad’s when they are working. I have a dog named Miley who is almost two years old.
I live in Mapleton, Maine. It gets really hot in the summer and really cold in the winter. We have lakes, ponds, and mountains. What kind of climate do you have there?
When I get older, I would like to have a family and be a head coach of a basketball team. I have played basketball my whole life and have loved the sport ever since! Do you play basketball? I play basketball for my school’s team.
Please write back as soon as you can. Our whole class would love to hear from you guys!
Your friend,
Erick Tompkins
