Dear David Sedaris,
I was first introduced to your book Me Talk Pretty One Day in the sixth grade by a favorite teacher. She read aloud to our class the chapter about your trip to France, where when you arrived you knew only the French word for "bottleneck." I immediately went out and bought the book along with my entire English class. When I look back on that memory, I remember laughing so hard at such mediocre, every day things. The way you put these memories of yours on paper made me think about how much more entertaining random, daily experiences can be.
How you relive your experiences with the world around you in your book really inspired meto look at life in a new perspective. I laugh more in my everyday life after reading your book then i ever have done before, and because of this I go through life with a smile. It helps me through the harder times knowing that there is laughter just around the bend. Thank you for allowing me to open my eyes and see how laughter can make the a world brighter place.
Sincerely,
Suzanne Galbraith

The first sentence would be stronger if you cited the name of your teacher.
SS "She read aloud to our class .."
This sentence isn't clear. Did you go with your whole class to buy the book or did everyone in the class like it so much that they went out and bought it as well? "I immediately went out and bought the book along with my entire English class."
Good, it made you look at life from a new perspective, but what specific things from the book inspired you. Based on this letter I can't even tell if you really read the book or not. THe author would want to really see that you read the book.
