Letter from Jack to Rose

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.

Nadim

Dear Rose,

            It feels like it has been such a long time since the last time I saw you. I know it’s only been several weeks. How have you been?

            You know what? My summer has been great! I spend my weekends at a resort not far from a beach. I am getting a nice tan and you can no longer say I am paler than you. I have been playing lots of volleyball, surfing and building a nice collection of sea shells. Just this past weekend I took second place in a sandcastle building contest!

            On the weekdays I work, I drive an ice cream truck around and sell ice cream to the kids. It is cool. It is a combination of the two things I love most, ice cream and the kids. The pay isn’t too great but I love the job so much.

            I hope the summer’s been going well for you too. There’s only a month and a half left in summer vacation and after that I will be back to school, my mid test is waiting. Would you like to meet up some time before school starts?

            One thing I want to tell you, I have bought some souvenirs for you. I hope you will love it.

 

Your buddy,

Jack

Dear Sarah,

I hope this letter finds you well. It's been quite some time since we last caught up, and I've been thinking about you a lot lately. How have you been? I trust that life has been treating you kindly and that you've been enjoying your days to the fullest.

As for me, life has been a whirlwind of activity lately. I recently started a new job, and while it's been keeping me busy, I'm enjoying the challenges it brings. The team I'm working with is fantastic, and I feel like I'm learning something new every day. Outside of work, I've been trying to make the most of my weekends by exploring new hiking trails and spending time with loved ones.

Speaking of which, I heard from our mutual friend Jack the other day. He was reminiscing about our old adventures together and suggested that we all plan a reunion soon. I think it's a fantastic idea! It would be wonderful to catch up and create new memories together. What do you say? Are you up for it?

On a different note, I recently stumbled upon a book that reminded me of you. It's a captivating mystery novel with twists and turns that kept me on the edge of my seat until the very end. I thought you might enjoy it too, so I've enclosed a copy for you. I hope you like it as much as I did!

Well, I won't keep you any longer. I look forward to hearing from you soon and hopefully seeing you in person for that long overdue catch-up. Take care, Sarah, and remember that you're always in my thoughts.

Warmest regards,

Ben

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,

Jean
