A dream come true

Dear Editor,
My name is Paul Fuchs, I am 11-years-old and I am attending the Oroville Elementary School. Like every year my friend and I went Trick or Treating on Main Street, we enjoy a good time together and the candies too.
This year the staff at the Camary Motel asked me to enter my name in a drawing, I did not even know what the prize was, they did not tell me. I put my name in anyway. Later that night we received a phone call. They told me I won a prize. It was a Kindle Fire!!! I could not say anything! I was totally speechless I did not believe it was true! I was so happy! My own Kindle Fire!
I always wanted a Kindle Fire, because I had nothing to play any mobile games or read eBooks on. In the future I hope I will use my new Kindle to read many interesting eBooks and play games.
I hope the person who donated the Kindle Fire will read this letter, because I’d like to say “Thank you very much” and let you know how happy you made me! Thanks, you made my dream come true!
Yours,
Paul Fuchs
Oroville
