Hi, Leah, Sara, Spencer, Marc, Matt, JP, Kelsey, Wesley, Nancy, BM, JW,
RH, RI, SWG, AH, Bill M. and Bill P.,

     How are you?  I am fine.  My name is Stephanie Palmer.
I am doing the money project too.  I was wondering what you
would buy if you had $100.00 and you could buy anything in
the world that you wanted.  But remember you can only spend
$100.00 so be careful!!!

                           Your Key-pal
                                Stephanie Palmer

P.S.  I am 11 years old.

Dear Kelsey,
   Hi!!  How are you ?  I am fine.  My name is Ashleigh
DeBord.  So what have you been up to ?  I heard you needed
someone to write to so here I am!!!!!!!  Have you heard of
the thing when you tell everything you would buy with $100 in
your country.  I think minting is when you make the money and
you clean the money.  I think it is done in Denver,
Philadelphia, San Fransisco, and West point N.Y.  I am sorry
but I have to go.  Please write back

                           Your Key Pal,
                         Ashleigh DeBord

Subject:      MONEY: What 550,000 roubles can buy
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ekaterinburg, Russia

Dear friends,

100$ is about 550,000 roubles. It is a very difficult question
for me what can I buy for such money. It is neither big sum, nor
too small. I have about 50,000 roubles each month and usually I
spend it for magazines and some cosmetics, like shampoo, gels,
mascara and others. It is fully enough for me but if I want some
new clothes we go to the market and spend about 500,000 roubles
there. For example, we can buy a nice skirt, a fashion bootees and
a blouse for such money. But if I could have 100$... I just don't
know, I must think what can I do with it. It also depends some
reasons, for example if my mom or brother or dad don't know about
it I can buy New Year presents for them (it is not interesting to
buy a present for mom for her money). Can I buy only three items
or any number? I want to know how Mariam want to spend this money
first. It will help me. Maybe another children'll write what they
want to do with such money too? It is just interesting for me.

                             Best wishes and love, Olya
