The Honorable Judge Graham Roberts:

This letter is written by me, Arthur L. Jones, on behalf of Donald Thompson. I have known Donald personally for over ten years, having first met him in school. It was with great shock that I found out about the charge of smuggling he was facing. It is so out of character for the Donald I know.

I first became aware of Donald’s good character during high school. He excelled in his studies, never got in any trouble, and was always eager to help others. He regularly volunteered to assist with school events and functions in his spare time, and tutored several students, including myself. In fact, if it wasn’t for Donald I would have failed Mathematics, and would not be where I am today.

Donald’s good deeds have not been limited to school though. He has helped me on several occasions since we graduated, in fact he was personally responsible for me obtaining my current position at Awesome Accountants Ltd. I have also watched Donald tirelessly devote his time to Meals on Wheels, where he serves as Delivery Manager.

I know that Donald has broken the law, although due to what I consider bad influences. I feel that both Donald and the community would be better served if he was not sent to prison. Imprisonment at this time would unnecessarily destroy his future, and deprive society of a potentially valuable citizen. Donald has shown great remorse, and placing him amongst convicted criminals would only expose him to further negative influences. I say this not because I am his friend, but because I truly believe it.

Donald is a good, trustworthy, and dignified man who has made a terrible mistake. I truly believe that everyone would be better served if he was kept out of prison and allowed to continue his studies. I humbly ask that you do not alter the direction of his life based on a bad decision.

If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact me on 412-644-7735.

Sincerely,

Kenneth Atkins
