Dear fellow Students,
We are writing thisletter of appeal to call on all the students in our university to do somethingto make ourselves more honest. as we all know, thereare still some dishonest persons in our society although honesty is believed tobe a virtue. For instance, quite a few university students cheat in the exams.
We firmly believe that everyone in this world should be honestand the reasons are as follows. First andforemost, dishonest people are short-sighted. Those students who sellfake and substandard products may make money at first, but their
classmateswon’t buy the products any more when they know the truth. As a result, they will lose their fortune or even be sentto prison. Additionally, those who always tell truth or keep their promise not only let otherstrust them but gain respect from other people as well. Because they are trustable and respectable, everyone iseager to make friends with them. Lastbut not least, it is easier for aperson with a good record to get a promising job. Generally speaking, every employer wants his employees tobe honest. So we can say that anyone who is honest will be paid back later.
So, it is high time that weimproved our awareness of honesty, and let’s do whatever we can do to make ourcampus more harmonious and beautiful. Join us in the action right now. Thankyou very much for your understanding and cooperation!
