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
Lestari

Pekanbaru
1st October 2020
Dear Fred,
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,
Jack
