Imagine you are an advisor to Xerxes and are alarmed about his plan for revenge on Greece . Compose a letter outlining reason why he should cancel his invasion of Greece

I salute thee, oh strong Xerxes, our King, and Sovereign Leader.

It´s of my concern that our kingdom requires to increase, to defeat, to overcome all adversary that may stand against us, nevertheless in these tough and combatant period, it might be good to act defensively during the course of upholding and strengthening our already occupied territories in central Asia, and the Indian borderline.

I´ll keep tab with any decision you come up with my king but it is going to be a privilege for me if the letter could be put in view.

Hail to the king!
