BUSINESS LETTER
February 17, 2009
Mrs. Christine Berg
Speed Time Gym
2951 Figueroa St.
Pasadena, CA 91105
Dear Mrs. Berg:
For several years, I have been attending fitness clubs. Working out for me is synonymous with health. Actually, I am a member of your gym for 3 months. I am very satisfied with the machines that you provide, the cleanliness and your staff.
I want you to know that there are many of yours clients using these machines in an improper manner with great possibilities of self-injury. There is no staff close to instruct them of the proper usage. I would like to know why there is not a trainer always supervising and helping them? It could prevent serious unnecessary injuries or damages to your clients and also to your gym’s reputation.
I will be happy to meet with you to discuss this matter further.
Thank you for your time
Sincerely
Erika Diamante

LIVING IN THE UNITED STATES
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7uAcviEJy4yehgm1-mU-rDKNOpAdVKGNf4GPvlc5ZpzYXKexg6ulMeMNL8MCWx30IH7D4qlP-YM8zjWnQpFOiolb9GgEpSjOfd6x4954Bw8Y5bXrNdQn8-FvZ7OMkthtz2-ICkox_exjc/s320/USA+Flag.jpg)
Most of the people want to live in the United States. Why does a person leave their home country? There are many different reasons. Maybe to get a job, learn another language, live new experiences, join their family or maybe for love. Love is my reason.
I am new in America. I have been here for almost 5 months. I came from Blumenau Santa Catarina Brazil. Blumenau is a small city of Germanic colonization. The population is almost 300,000. Blumenau is famous for their Oktoberfest, it happiness for 17 days in October. It’s the second largest beer fest in the world. The first is in Germany.
Two years ago I met my husband in Blumenau, when he went to Rio de Janeiro to Carnaval. After that he returned to Brazil to be with me several times. But you know, long distance romances usually don’t work. So we decided to get married in the USA. Where? In Las Vegas the most popular place to get married in the USA.
Then I came to America and I arrived in Los Angeles. It’s a complete different life. Beginning with the language, more traffic, different traffic laws, large highways, longer distances between destinations. There are also too many fast food restaurants. Life here is fast. Everybody rushes and works a lot. The government is very complicated. There are many many taxes. The cost of living is very expensive. There is too much burocracy and many immigration documents.
Actually I am studying English because I want to be successful in this country and get a good career. It's a new challenge for me. The life in the United States isn’t like many people think. Most of the people want to live the American Dream, but they don’t really know how hard life is here.
