Sample letter to the Dodo：

Dear Dodo，

I am writing to you because I have heard of your problems.I know man is trying to kill all the dodos and I want to help you.Here are my ideas.

First，I would like to come and attack them for you so that they will leave you alone.I want to build a trap and catch them and put them in a cage.Then they will not feel like killing any dodos again.

I wish I were with you now.Good luck till I come.

Yours sincerely，
