This letter is from Presidential Candidate and Senator Barack Obama. He took time out of his busy campaign to not only send me a recipe of his favorite food, but to also write an incredibly inspirational letter. My request to him was written when I was still 16. As far as he knew, I wasn't going to be able to vote (my birthday happens to be 3 weeks before the next election so I can vote). He wrote me the letter for the pure fact that he truly cares and is involved.
