Dear Sir，
I’m Li Hua a 17-year-old boy student studying in a senior high school.Now l have some trouble with my parents, so l am writing to ask you to do me a favor.
Here is my problem.I’ve always been fond of collecting stamps since I was a child. As far as I’m concerned，collecting stamps is a meaningful hobby, helping me to know a lot. Besides， dealing with my collection of stamps not only gives me great satisfaction but also makes me relaxed under the great pressure of studies. What’s more，I even earn money by selling some stamps and my collection will be more valuable as times goes by.However, my parents are strongly against it because they consider it as a waste of money and they also think that sorting out my stamps may take up too much of my time， which should be spent on my studies.
Hopefully.,your kind and timely help will be appreciated.，for I don't want to argue with them but to get along well with them.
Looking forward to your early reply!
Yours,
Li Hua
