         Do you need money? Write a letter to Mr Percy Ross. Maybe he will give you some.

    Mr Ross is a rich man,  and he likes to give people money. But he usually sends money to old people, sick people and poor children. People who are young and healthy can not get money from him. Sometimes Mr Ross doesn't send people money. He sends the things they need—shoes,  a hearing aid(助听器) , new pots and pans, or some advice. Mr Ross was very poor when he was a boy,  and now he is a successful businessman. He wants to help poor people.

    Dear Mr Ross,

            I have two daughters, aged one and eight. I give the baby one bottle of milk every day. I want to give her two bottles every day, but I don't have enough money. I also want to give my older daughter ice cream sometimes. Can you help me?

    Dear Mr Ross,

            My mother is 75 years old. She is ill in hospital. The hospital is 25 miles away from my home. I want to visit my mother every day. I have to drive my car to see her, but I have little money to buy gasoline. Can you send me some money for gasoline?
