Dear Mr. Kerry,
How is the campaign trail treating you? I have been meaning to get up to the Boston area. I hear it is lovely in the fall. Unfortunately, I am a 20 something who is lucky enough to get vacation, but poor enough that I never get to go anywhere exciting. I know once you get into the White House, you’ll help folks like me out. Until then, I have some vacation time to burn before my fiscal year begins at work in November and I lose my days.

I’m sure you’re very busy right now, but I figured it never hurts to ask. I would like to visit Boston in October and I was wondering if you had a futon or pull out couch or even just an empty area in your living room where I could crash for a few days. I am quite serious and hope you can help me out.

I live in Florida and aside from snakes, hanging chads and hurricanes, Floridians are cursed with a high cost of living and a lower pay scale compared to most of the country. So when I vacation, I have to do it on the cheap.

Thank you in advance for your time and I look forward to your reply.

Cordially,
Jonathan ###
