Dear :
Nothing can be worse that hearing the news that your motherland, Japan, has been striken by the earthquake from the news report and broadcast, I can see your countrymen suffering disaster and disease. And you are even under the threat of nuclear radition leak. However, I can firmly convinced that you will defeat the disaster and rebuild our city.
Three years ago, our mother land was also in the same situation as yours. The great earthquake which happened in Wen Chuan took thousands of lives instantly. At the moment, numerous children lost their parents and bwecame orphans, hundreds of families were broken, and all the people there felt helpless and frightened.
Fortunately, lots of rescue workers rushed to the area and worked around the clock, and meanwhile supplies were being sent to there from all directions. With the help from all Chinese people, the victims finally survived, and they also became self-confident. In a word, as a developed country, your motherland Japan has the ability to rescue the victims. In addition, you needn’t to be worried about your future.
Everything will be fine soon. I will also try my best to help you and your family. God bless you!
Yours sincerely,
Dear [David]:
I am afraid that you will think me unpardonably negligent in not having answered your letter dated [7, December] sooner, but when I have told you the reason, I trust you will be convinced that the neglect was excusable. When your letter arrived, I was just in [Hong Kong]. As my family could not forward it to me during my absence, it has been, therefore, lying on my desk until the moment when I took it up. Now the first thing I have to hasten to do is to write to you these few lines to express my deep regret.
I enjoyed many pleasant sights during my trip. I shall be pleased to give you an account to of them when I see you next.
Yours,
