Dear chiefs 

I would really like to go on the horouta waka to look for new lands. I know some people that are going on the waka and I think I’m one of the best people going on it. here are some of my reasons:

I am going to help with the sails , this following sentence is the detail why I am going to help with the sails. I am really good at climbing, which will help with the pulling of the ropes if they fly loose, I like climbing and I’m not afraid of heights. I like climbing trees and all sorts.

Secondly to build and reaper boats and houses. I like building anything really if you ask me to, and I am good at building things.

Thirdly I like boats and fishing, I love boats and anything that goes on water because I do not get seasick, I will help the horouta waka with their fishing. I like fishing and I have had heaps of experience within and without fishing.

Fourthly, I am a good cook. I love cooking everything, especially cooking over fire and I like cooking new things. 

That was my last reason, chiefs I hope you choose me because I know you are the best chiefs, and if you don’t choose me to go on the good waka you will be insulting me.

                                                            Yours sincerely Jasper
