Dear Mom,
I was walking down the street the other day and i was ofered 100,000 dollars to give my blood plasma to a medical study. I immediaelty accepted and i walked into the office and donated right there on the spot. They gave me the money and i went on my way. Two weeks later they contacted me and told that i had a super incredibly rare blood type that if donated enough i could save millions of peoples lives as well as have people pay me hunderds of dollars for every donantion. The only problem is that i would have to drop out of college and focus soley on donating blood. I understand that this may be a setback in your eyes but within two weeks i will make enough money to buy my own house and i will be completly able to support myself. please Mom i always wanted to be a hero and now is my chance
love Sean

Dear Sean,
we are so proud of you and your special blood condition we think that it is great that you are trying to save lives and make a living for yourself. I honestly do not see the point in you continiuing a collee education if you are doing so well as a blood donator. I am just so happy that you found your own little nitch in the world and that you are financially set please come home and share the wealth with the rest of your family
love always Mom.

    That’s super creative, even though your just giving blood and it’s no where near this, but it reminds me of people giving their bodies to medicine trials or even people that donate their sperm for a couple hundred dollars, but obviously yours isn’t any thing like my second example. And then your mom is so proud and doesn’t think you even need the college education any more because you have got special blood to get you by in life. Giving that much blood all the time can’t be healthy

    this is so funny! sean you are something special!!!! rare blood...that was a great idea. people pay $25 every two weeks if you donate you plasma. this may not be enough to live off but who cares money is money. i love your mom in this story! so supportive, which added to the comedy factor. great job

    sean, i love you and your ideas. that is so creative. however, i dont know how very ralizstic it is. if you were giving enough blood to make a lot of money, you would end up losing a lot of blood, and probably getting sick and having holes verywhere which is never attractive. plus, would you have to do this for the rest of your life? plus, can people really do this? i want to know
