Dear Melo,
I am twelve years old and had a slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE),which disabled me from playing basketball for a year and a half. I am just getting back into basketball and my skills have dropped dramatically. I want to be a great basketball player like you, since you are my favorite and the best in the NBA. My injury was caused by me growing too fast. Since then I have been trying to get my stamina and my skills up, but nothing has quite worked. I hope that your basketball camp will help me to become better at basketball, faster and strengthen my leg so I won't come in last in races.
Thank you in advance for your consideration.
Your # 1 fan,
Bryce Stiggers
P.S. You threw your sweatband to me.
