obtaining permission to carry on campus

[1TallTXn]

don't use "Recently" and "Recent" in the same sentence.
"Presently I have been involved in discussion about recent events"

just one suggestion.

Good one. Now you see why I didn't major in english

"Presently(Present tense) I have been(Past tense) involved in discussion about recent events"

I would just go with:

"I have been involved in quite a few discussions about the recent events at Virginia Tech."

how bout this?

I bin talkin with some fellers...

[hi-power]

I would just go with:

"I have been involved in quite a few discussions about the recent events at Virginia Tech."

That's more better!

Everybody's a critic, and I'm no different.

I think your ending is too soft..."what do you think about..." , "look forward to a discussion.."

I think you should come right out and ask for permission to carry on campus. I would include with the letter a very concise statement that you are permitted to carry on campus and a place for him to sign. Insert a return envelope with postage. In the letter, you could add that you would enjoy discussing this matter with him in person, but if he did not feel that was necessary, he could sign the attach permission slip and return via mail.

The reason that I haven't included that I have a CHL is that this is mostly intended to be a feeler. If he dislikes this idea, I don't really want him, or anyone for that matter, knowing that I carry. Thats my business and not his.
If this doesn't meet too much resistance, then I'll certainly be asking for permission.
