question 29

Essay

You have recently received a notice from your Homeowner's Association (HOA) that the flagpole that you just installed violates the HOA rules. You were not aware of this rule when you purchased and installed the flagpole. Write the Homeowner's Association a letter asking them to reconsider their rule or make an exception for the flagpole that you have installed. When you are finished, trade your letter with another student (or small group if you are working in groups). Write a response letter either granting or denying the homeowner's request. Make up details such as names and address, but use an appropriate tone and follow the guidelines set forth in the textbook.
