I am sad and worried. There is oil in the Gulf. We might not be able to have water to drink. There are no fish, no shrimp, no oysters anymore. Me and the kids in my school were looking forward to going to the beach. My dad was going to teach me how to swim in the bay at Fort Morgan.

Now there is no fun at the beach. The summer is almost over. Please, Mr. President, make BP clean all the oil up. Please read my letter and all the others you may have gotten from other kids. The animals and the humans need your help.
