The rhetorical device that <span>is used in this excerpt from Mark Twain's "The Danger of Lying in Bed" is anecdote (assuming that your options are allusion, rhetorical question, anecdote, and logic).
There is no allusion to any other text here, so that is not the correct answer. There are also no rhetorical questions - questions that don't need an answer because it is implied. I guess there is logic, but it is not a rhetorical device really. So, I'd choose anecdote, because an anecdote is a short, interesting story from someone's life, as is the case here.</span>

Dear John,
How are you and how is your family over there in Nigeria? Hope everyone is okay.
As you are well aware, I've just written my WAEC exams which gives me the platform to gain admission into a higher institute of learning.
I plan to study Medicine and Surgery and become like the hero we always dreamed of when we were kids - Kwadwo Asamoah -, helping the sick get better and the society better as a whole.
I applied to the prestigious University of Accra, Ghana which I think is the best place possible for me to learn and become a competent doctor and surgeon. I have already gotten the school brochure and started preliminary studies and would appreciate your help in the financial aspects of my education like you already promised.
I appreciate your assistance and hope to come down to Nigeria and see you soon.
Yours faithfully,
Prince Appiah.
