TO: All teachers and students
FROM: Your name
DATE: Today’s date
SUBJECT: Missing turkey
Please be on the look out for Tom T. Turkey. He is scheduled to go under the knife Thursday, November 25, but he is nowhere to be found. I know this is a scary time for poor old Tom, but it was what he was born to do. There have been sightings of Tom T. in the gymnasium, on the playground, and on the north end of the hallway. So far, he has steered clear of the cafeteria.
Tom T. Turkey is about 2’5” tall. He has a beard and is completely covered in feathers. He answers to “gobble-gobble-gobble”. Caution: he has been known to shake his tail feathers. If you see Mr. Turkey, please let me know immediately, otherwise, it will be a ham of a Thanksgiving.
Sincerely,
Your name
