Dear Aunt Aggie,

In my opinion, i don’t agree with your advice. The problem in this is that Josephine’s boss is smoking, and it is a danger to Josephine’s health. I think you should try to understand Josephine more instead of saying bad things like “the health risks aren't too important since you probably don't have much longer to live anyway.” How would you feel if someone said that to you, completely ignoring your feelings. I think your advice was not that good because instead of providing a solution, you suggested for Josephine to do the exact opposite of what she wanted, to smoke herself. The smoker may be smoking because he started at a young age and was addicted to it. Smoking is really harmful to you, and people would not start smoking just because their boss is. Over all, I think you advice was not very helpful.

Yes, I did.
