Captain Van Camp
Commander
HMS Princess Margaret

O Captain, My Captain:

   Hello Captain Van Camp, I am aware of our group's current predicament and know we won't all survive the voyage home. I understand the decision you are about to make will your conflict with your existential philosophy of helping others. However I am pleading that your chosen survivors can include me, because the benefits I will bring to the world will be instrumental in the future.

   At the current time I am considerately involved in my school and community. I am a member of both Princess Margaret leadership and Amnesty Global Awareness school groups. In addition I participate for my school's cross country, soccer, and golf teams. Also I am involved in the community playing Midget hockey and volunteering annually in the Iron Man Canada competition held here in Penticton.

   I would like you to know that my status as a survivor would benefit not only my family and I, but also people I could serve in the future field of medicine. My plans after graduation, would be to attend a post-secondary institution and study a science program. Following this personal achievement, I plan on using my talents to pursue a dentistry program and possibly specialise in orthodontics. I plan on naming my future practise after our fallen comrades, and a portion of my yearly salary will be donated to countries in the restoration stage preceding a natural disaster.

 I can guarantee if i am selected, I will devote my life to helping others as you will do also. Therefore if your choice includes me as a surviving crew member I thank you so much. However if not, I wish yourself and the ones chosen the best of luck.

Sincerely,
Jonathan Hack
