Dear Mr. President,

We the undersigned beseech you to serve as a good example to English-speaking people around the world by demonstrating the proper use of personal pronouns.

You have a well-deserved reputation as a fine speaker and a man with true literary gifts. But many of us who have listened to you have been dismayed to hear you say things like "for Michelle and I", or "with my family and I". We are sure that you are aware that the object form of the first person pronoun is "me", not "I".

Perhaps this is simply a bad habit. Breaking this bad habit should be easier to do than to stop smoking, and will bring pleasure to many Americans, at no cost to the federal budget.

We thank you for your efforts to correct this mistake which pains so many people who in other respects admire you greatly.
