I hope you enjoyed my earlier summary of Pat's letter. Here is a summary of Emily's letter:<br /><br />I don't like you or Carol, but you're not as intimidating as she is. Besides, I didn't really mind what Carol was doing. Don't do this again, or I'll be even angrier. I wish I could think of some way to get back at you, but I'm not as mean as Carol. <br /><br />Here is a summary of Chris's letter:<br /><br />I'm sorry, but really it was your fault. I sure hope you can shape up. When the facilitator tells you were wrong, by God, please listen!
