Hello Mika,
I want you to know how awful I feel about letting you down. I know you were really counting on me to leave you
alone and I blew it! You must be frustrated and angry with me and I don't blame you. Nothing is more aggravating
than having to deal with a flake who can't be depended on. Ordinarily, I am very responsible and reliable. I wish I had
a good excuse for why I failed you, but I'm afraid there just isn't one. I hope you'll forgive me for this lapse on my part.
Again, I am terribly sorry.

Regards,

Johan

Hello Monica,

Sometimes it's easy to take our friends for granted. I was just thinking about how nice it is that we're friends
and it occurred to me that I should tell you so! There have been so many times when I've thought, "Now what would I

I just wanted to let you know how glad I am that we're friends and how much our friendship means to me.
Thanks for everything you do that makes you such a special friend.

Dear Mr. Bruce,

I’m writing to you about the park across Bond Street my school.

Firstly, it is a nice park and if you wreck it and built a block of units there, there will be no playing
ground for children of any age who live in the area near the school.

Secondly, there are lovely trees in the park. Birds perch on their branches and people can hear

singing and chirping birds anymore.
Thirdly, my school is opposite the park. Sometimes my teachers take the children there to do
some exercises. If you wreck the park there will be no place to do some exercises.

Therefore, Mr. Bruce, please make sure you don’t build the block of units and try to stop the
builders.

Yours sincerely,

Irine Lober

Dear,
Please accept my heartiest congratulation on your recent selection for inclusion on the short-list for the NY
City Writers Prize.
I just heard the news today from Francis Good speed when she dropped into my office with the market up
proofs for her latest collection of stories. As you can imagine, Fran was very excited too!
I am so proud of you, I have been a longtime promoter of your work, and in my mind it’s about time they
finally recognized your talent. In fact, I believe that your selection for the NYCWP short-list is long overdue.
I have already two of the other books that are short-listed and in my opinion they don’t hold a candle to
your “No Turning Back”. I will read the other three books nominated and lest you know what I think.
Although, I could hardly be considered an objective reviewer on this one.
Once again Mavis, my sincere congratulations on your nomination. Just being nominated for the NYCWP is
an honor in itself. I will be keeping my fingers crossed for you until they announce the winner on March 1 st.

Sincere best wishes,

 Brad Merchand

Dear Mom and Dad,

We have some exciting news for you. Maria is going to have a baby! We didn’t tell you right away. At first the
doctor said she might have some trouble with the baby. Now he says she is just fine. She’s very healthy and happy
and large! She still works on her painting every day. But she stopped teaching art classes. She gets tired more
quickly now.

There is going to be another change in our lives. We’re moving back to New York! We wanted to be closer to you

Maria is a little worried about working in New York. She will have to stars again there. In Italy her paintings are
already popular. But I’m sure people will like them in New York, too. My job won’t be any problem. I’m still going
to work for the New York times. I’ll be writing about the United Nations in New York. We’re planning to move next
