Type the following personal business letter in block style formatting with open punctuation. Supply an appropriate salutation and closing. Use todays date. 2832 Primrose St. Eugene, OR 97402-1716 Mr. Andrew Chaney 324 Brookside Ave. NW Salem, OR 97302-9008 Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to speak to our Aspiring Musicians Club. It was great learning more about the Masters from you. I particularly enjoyed learning more about the German composers. It is amazing that so many of the great musicians (Johann Sebastian Bach, Ludwig van Beethoven, Robert Schumann, Felix Mendelssohn, and Richard Wagner) are all from Germany. It is my goal to continue my study of music at the Staaliche Hochschule fur Musik Rheinland in Germany once I graduate from college. Your insights into what it takes to make it as a professional musician were also enlightening for our members. Those of us who want to become professional musicians know we have to rededicate ourselves to that goal if we are going to be successful. Thank you again for sharing your expertise with our club.

Type the following report in the correct unbound format with side headings using a 12 pt. font. Place the hanging-indent references on a separate numbered page. SAMUAL CLEMENS Mark Twain Samuel Clemens was one of Americas most renowned authors. The colorful life he led was the basis for his writing. Although his formal education ended when he was 12 years old with the death of his father, his varied career interests provided an informal education that was not unlike many others of his generation. Clemens brought these rich experiences to life in his writing. Sam Clemens was recognized for his fiction as well as his humor. It has been said that, . . . next to sunshine and fresh air Mark Twains humor has done more for the welfare of mankind that any other agency. (Railton, You Mark Twain. 1999) By cleverly weaving fiction and humor, he developed many literary masterpieces. Some say his greatest masterpiece was Mark Twain, a pen name (pseudonym) Clemens first used in the Nevada Territory in 1863. This fictitious name become a kind of mythic hero to the American public. (Railton, Sam Clemens as Mark Twain, 1999) Some of his masterpieces that are among his most widely read books are The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. The Adventures of Tom Sawyer The Adventures of Tom Sawyer was first published in 1876. Such characters as Tom Sawyer, Aunt Polly, Becky Thatcher, and Huck Finn have captured the attention of readers for generations. Boys and girls, young and old, enjoy Tom Sawyers mischievousness. Who can forget how Tom shared the privilege of whitewashing Aunt Pollys fence? What child isnt fascinated by the episode of Tom and Becky lost in the cave? Adventures of Huckleberry Finn Adventures of Huckleberry Finn was first published in 1885. Many of the characters included in The Adventures of Tom Sawyer surface again in Huckleberry Finn. What child hasnt thought about what it would be like to run away with circus? REFERENCES Railton, Stephen.
