Dear Dr. Burton,

Of all the subjects that are open for study, none is more transcendent than the study of the future. To concieve of a world that has not yet come to pass is an immeasurably difficult undertaking, and requires an imagination that, in itself, is transcendent.

You have always inspired imagination and creativity in your students, and have thus contributed greatly to the realization of a more future-oriented generation of thinkers. By facilitating an open learning environment, new ideas and possibilities have streamed into my mind in all of your classes. I have always thought of future studies as a 'way of thinking' rather than a confined subject, and the skills I have learned from your teaching have been a valuable asset throughout my academic career both as a writer, and as a listener. Thank you for implimenting innovation in your classroom, and equipping me, and many other students, with the conceptual tools to see more clearly into a world that is shrouded in the mysterious unknowability of the future.
