Dear Mr. Sufajri
On January 15th, 2009, you came to me with a request to borrow $1,000.00 to help you get your car repaired. You
stated that you could not get to work without it and if it did not get it fixed you would fall behind on your bills. You
told me that you would have the money but that you just didn't have it all at one time. The agreement was that you
would pay me back $100.00 each month from your paycheck until the debt was paid in full. We both signed a paper
stating the details of our agreement. While I was hesitant to loan you money, as your friend I felt obligated to help
you and at the time felt certain that you would pay me back.
On February 8th, 2010, I did receive a check from you for $100.00. However since then I have received no more
money from you for over six months. The few times we've spoken you told me you would be sending payments
right away. Recently you have stopped answering my e-mails and phone calls. I can only assume that you have no
intention in paying me the remaining balance you owe.
Please send me a payment based on our agreement or the balance in full by September 1st, 2010. Otherwise I will
have no other choice but to take this to small claims court. I regret that this loan has damaged our friendship but I
am not in a financial position to just let it go.
Sincerely,
Farah Mahardila

Another pioneer, Paracelsus, who helped alchemy develop into modern chemistry, declared that salt,
sulphur, and mercury mixed in the proper proportions would be good for our health. He also insisted that the search
for gold should be stopped.
An important chemist in eighteenth-century in France was Lavoisier. His experiments convinced him that
burning was caused by union of oxygen with other chemicals. He called this process oxidation.
In the composed of very small particles called atoms, and that the atoms of various elements differ in their
weight. The atomic theory also states that a union of two or more atoms comprises a molecule.
At about the same time, an Italian physicist, Avogadro added the idea that a volume of one kind of gas
contains the same number of molecules as an equal volume of any other kind of gas. If both are under the same
conditions of temperature and pressure. This is called Avogadro's law.

What is the benefit of tourism for local people? Well, Tourism is now a huge contributor to the economies
of most countries. Tourism industries can bring money, job vacancy and advancement especially to developing
regions. However, this money often goes into the pockets of foreign investors, and only rarely benefits for local
people.
Tourism industries will not give much benefit for local people if, for example, multinational hotel chains
don't care about the surrounding nature when they build new hotels. This can cause many social, cultural and

geographical problems. Some local people may get job and money from that International hotel chain. However in
case of missing that opportunity, some of them still have their own environment.
Moreover, some facts show that tourists tend to go, visit and spend their money in restaurants, bars and
even luxury hotels of those multinational chains. They less go to such places; restaurant, bar, hotel, shop which are
owned by local people. This can prevent the local people's business from becoming even larger.
Most important thing, tours or excursions of tourism have little effect on nature. Even it can disrupt or
destroy ecosystems and environments, and if it does, the local people will get the risk.
So the local government policies should be put in place to ensure that tourism will make the benefit
spreading widely. The policies should guarantee that tourism will not cause any harm to any local people or places.
