Dear Frodi,

It was a real sorrow that I heard this morning of your great loss. I knew your mother was ill, for your brother told me several weeks ago. However, as he at that time did not seem to think the illness was very serious, the news of your mother’s death came to me as a shock. You have my sincere and heartfelt sympathy, my dear fellow, in your sorrow. I know you will feel it deeply, for you always thought so much of your mother and loved her so truly. I feel it also as a personal loss to myself, for your mother was always very kind to me. Her death must be a terrible grief to your father, too. Please assure him of my sincere sympathy. Words, I know, are poor comforters. “The heart knows its own sorrow”, and in such sorrows we are always alone. However, it is not mere words when I say that I feel with you in your sorrow.

Your sincere friend,

What is the possible relation between the sender and the recipient?

Jean

Dear Jonny,

Hello! How are you? I received your letter today. I am very excited to hear that you are coming to stay with me for the holidays. I am sure we will have a lot of fun together. My parents have agreed to let you stay with me. They offered to pick you up at the airport. All you have to do is to tell us when you are coming. I will now tell you about some of the things you will experience here in Indonesia. You do not have to worry about the local spicy food. We have a lot of fast food restaurants here like the ones you have in England. You can also shop for souvenirs to bring home. Sarinah or Blok M are our famous shopping areas. They have many shops selling all kinds of things. I am sure you will love them. I am also planning to take you to a few tourist spots like miniature of Indonesia, National monument, or Safari Garden. We can also go to the Ancol beach where you can swim, play on the beach, and have picnics. My family and I are looking forward to your coming. I hope to hear from you soon. Good bye.

With love.

Dear Intan Intan,

sorry I haven’t written to you for so long. We moved into a new apartment last month and we’ve been really busy getting settled. It’s a nice apartment. It is bigger than our old one. It’s big so there are a lot of rooms to work in. It has a big living room, two bedrooms and two bathrooms. Another thing I like is the kitchen. The apartment is on a quiet street in a good neighborhood. There’s also a shopping centre just down the street with a supermarket, some quite good restaurants and some stores. We really enjoy living here. Do come over and have a look next time you are in the town. I’ll wait.

Love

Shinta

Why Shinta has not written a letter to Intan for long time ?

• Because she was busy getting settled

• Because she enjoyed living in an apartment

• Because she was reluctant

• Because she had to move into an apartment

Dear Igon How are you? Hope everything is okay with you. I’m all right here. We are going to have the national examination, aren’t we? Are you well prepared for it? Well, to be honest, I just have some difficulties in preparing for it, especially in science. There are extra lessons in my school and I take them all. But, I feel that they don’t help. I’m still confused in solving mathematic problems. I’m just worried that I fail the national examination. Do you have any suggestion for me? I really appreciate your help. I look forward to hearing from you.

To all Colleagues and Friends,

As those close to me know, I am not good with goodbyes so I do apologize to those who feel offended that I have left having written only this farewell letter, without personally shaking their hand and exchanging best wishes. I have so many people to thank for their support and dedication that it is impossible to personally get to see you all with the short time that was available. I truly am humbled to have worked with such a group of “get in and get it happening people” and I am so proud of the achievements that you have accomplished both in the operation and (for quite a lot of you) for your own personal accomplishments. To those of you that I had the opportunity to coach and or set goals for, I commend each of you for your achievements and hope that you continue to succeed through life journeys. I can be contacted if required on 08159030832. I wish you all a Healthy, Safe and Prosperous Year. Thanks, regards and best wishes,

Bill Jones
