Semi formal letter

Dear Sir,

I am writing in response to your magazine article about the declining role in the family of fathers today. I feel that there are many admirable fathers that inspire their children nowadays. I have always felt that fathers who support their children in everything and who has children that wish follow their example as an inspiration to a whole existence should be considered as a role model. I would like to describe someone who in my opinion has fulfilled the criteria of being an ideal father and who has inspired me personally as role model – my own father.
At only just 23-year-old my father as a young man had two children giving him an enormous responsibility. Working in two jobs he was not around a lot, but he never missed anything of importance for us. He is always there for us, whether it was for game of handball on Sunday morning or any other school function. He always expresses his love the best ways he knows investing a lot of time into my upbringing. He was determined to give up anything to make us happy.
My father believes is his on philosophies and I could say that everything I am, came from his knowledge of existence. He taught me that we all need to have passion to do things in life, and following that passion we will be able to do good business and the money will flows from that. He also taught the value of everything, how to love, respect and be a good and moral person. Having my father gave me an advantage in life over many people.
To put in a nutshell, I think that my father have a clear role in the family, even spending most of his time outside my home, he was always there for me. He achieves the role of being a father giving me an example to follow and now because of him, I know what being father means and I really can say that there is at least one real father left.

Yours faithfully,
