Jl. Jambu 129 Bima January 30th, 2017   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

Dear Sandra Dewi,

 

It isn’t often that I say this, but I wanted to thank you for being such a good friend. You are always around when I need you, always willing to listen when I need to talk, and always ready to organize something fun when I need a break. You are one of the most important people in my life, and when I count my blessings I always think of you. I don’t think I could have gotten through the last few years without you. Through the break-ups and career changes and moves you were always around to lend a hand and tell a joke. I appreciate that more than you know.

Once again, thank you very much for being such a great person and wonderful friend.

 

Love,

 

Dek Tino

My dearest ……,

 

I would like to apologize for not arriving on time to pick you up from your school yesterday afternoon. I have no excuse for keeping you waiting and wondering when your ride would show up.

It’s important to me not to let people down when they’re depending on me. Next time, I’ll make better use of the alarm on my phone, so I’ll be sure to leave in plenty of time to arrive as scheduled, or even ahead of schedule.

I humbly ask your forgiveness. I hope my mistake won’t change your decision to keep loving me forever. Once again, I'm sorry for the delay that made you so disappointed and angry with me.

 

Love,

 

Tino

Take care.

 

Yours,
