All citizens of the United States of America must not mix alcoholic substances with any other

alcoholic drinks, they will be prosecuted. This law does not apply to mixing alcohol with non-

Dear Phil,

" I have noticed your recent patterns of activities, and wanted to express my
concern. You have not been making the best of decisions lately, and one of these days
your are going to get caught. You need to be more abstinent about cheating on tests. You
know that it is not the right thing to do, and it is not fair to the rest of the class, or yourself.
You arenʼt learning anything, and that is the whole purpose of school. You need to refrain
yourself from this type of behavior, as the consequences are not worth the risk. Donʼt take
this as a bad thing, just a letter of concern trying to help you out.

" " " " " " " " " " " Sincerely,
" " " " " " " " " " " Anonymous
