Hi, Anna I’m really happy that you had a once of a life time chance to go on tour with Rihanna as her makeup artist. But, since you had to drop out of English 1302 I remembered you made me promise to keep you up to date with what we are learning. With never wanting to break a promise, I’m deciding to write to you today to teach you about a new subject we are learning.
