redone letter

Dear Mr. Nadziejko and class,

          This letter is me asking for your permission to research a waterfowl hunting club. The club is called Fort Charters Waterfowl Club and is located in Prairie du Rocher, Illinois. I deer hunt just down the road from this club, and for years I have heard almost constant shooting coming from the club in the morning hours. I have always wondered what it was like to duck hunt and what the club did. This past year the owner of the club hired me to help him cut brush on one of his properties. I never actually got to work on the wetlands property until recently.
        I plan on getting maps of what the area looked like before it was drained for farmland. The whole entire lowlands used to be swamp, and I would like to see what the club has done to return the area to its natural state.  Based on what I've seen, I am confident that the members of this club will be coincidered a subculture. They are different than any other kind of hunters. They endure the worst weather imaginable for just a few minutes of excitement. Due to my employment there, I have almost endless acess to the property and many members to interview and learn from about the clubs doings. I was actually invited on my first duck hunt ever by some of the club members earlier this week so I am still learning. Frankly, I have no idea what they are talking about sometimes so this will be an opportunity for you to learn as I learn. Once again, my employment with the owner of the club, Mr. Frederick, will ensure that I get as much time in and around the club as possible. I also plan on watching the outdoor channel, reading one of the many waterfowl magizines, and using certain websites as other sources. I am also attending a Ducks Unlimited banquet with the club members to see how they interact with other clubs and duck hunters. Ducks Unlimited is a national duck hunting club and does alot for the duck hunting community. I hope you give me permission to do this topic because I love the outdoors and would greatly enjoy to research this subject. 
                                                                                                        Thankyou,
                                                                                                                Brock Durbin
