A letter to Messi (Creative Writing 1)(English Assignment)

Creative Writing ( A letter to Messi ) ( English Assignment )

Dear Lionel Messi,

Hi there! I am a big fan of yours and i think you're a brilliant footballer. I remember seeing you on TV when i was a little kid, and seeing you absolutely destroy Getafe. You started from your own half, dropped six players with amazing skills then you beat the keeper and scored. That was probably one of the best goals i have ever seen. You produce stunning goals, you humiliate great defenders and players in general with outstandingly brilliant dribbling. I admire your success and how you have broken countless records.You have also won the Ballon d'Or not once , not twice nor thrice but four times and it was consecutive as well. Just breathtaking. You are considered as one of the best footballer by millions of people and many great and legendary players. You are so loyal to Barca and to your fans, it's amazing. You are currently the best and will be for many years but i have a feeling Neymar Jr will be known as the best after you retire. You are an idol to millions of people including me, just keep on doing what you do and that is be the best. 

Your fan,
Savin
