Bacha , Jeff. "Writing the Basic Business Letter." Purdue Online Writing Lab 1-2. Web.25 May 2010. <http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/653/01/>.
I will be using this document to guide the way in which I present my letters to Henrietta Lacks (as if she were still alive), Rebecca Skloot, the Lacks Family, and Johns Hopkins hospital.

This document will help me conjure up ideas to write in the letters pertaining to Henrietta Lacks and to her family. With these five important ideas about why she is indeed so important, I can create a basis of argument against Johns Hopkins hospital as well as explaining to the family what she has done for our medical research, improvements, and cures all over the world.

This article and blog gives me the perspective from a racial point of view on Henrietta’s life allowing me to look at the bioethical and social aspects of her sitation.

I think that this article is very interesting because it is written to show the perspective of Deborah Lacks, taking attention away from her mother for a short while. I think that this will be useful when I put myself into the mindset of theLacks family in order to write them a meaningful and personal letter. The more information that I can research and read about each member of the family, the better I think that I can portray how they really felt and how they were affected by their mother’s death.

Using the information from this article will definitely be very helpful in writing the letter to Johns Hopkins’ hospital.
