Dear Marilia,.
Hi Marilia, I’m sorry because this is the first letter for you since I promised you to send you
letter as soon as possible when I have arrived in Kuala Lumpur. In fact, I did so much
preparation before started studying in University Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM). I found some
difficulties to speak in Malay language. Therefore, I should take private course to know Malay
language as well as possible. I also need some translator to help me in understanding some
articles.
Even though, I found some difficulties here. But day by day, I could be comfort here because
many people here are very friendly for all foreigners including me. Now, I am very happy to
study English Literature here because many classmates also supported me very well.
University Kebangsaan Malaysia is the best university in Malaysia. It’s a very deep for
education. History, English, Science, Gigs, Art, Physical, Math, and so on. I hope you will come
here as soon as possible to study here and become my classmates.
Now, this is the end of the letter. I hope the letter will arrive early there!
Sincerely yours,
Carolina
Dear Carolina,
Thank you so much for your first letter. Even though it’s rather late but it’s really appreciated.
Thank for information about your experience in Kuala Lumpur, especially your experience to be
the new students in University Kebangsaan Malaysia. It’s really fantastic, and I hope that you
will be enjoy studying there. And I Always pray for your success there.
On this moment, I also want to give you news that I have been accepted as one the students in
Universitas Indonesia, Jakarta. And my major is International Law. I have thought and
considered many times to decide going to Jakarta. And I finally I decided studying international
law in Indonesia.
It was hard for me to decide because we also have promised studying in the same University.
But, unfortunately I couldn’t study in Malaysia because my grandmother was living in Jakarta. I
know it’s not good news for you but I have to decide my future. I hope you will understand about
this condition. Trust me, we will support each other even though we live in different city and
different country.
Marilia
Dear Nathan
How are you? Hope everything is okay with you. I’m all right here.
We are going to have the national examination, aren’t we? Are you well prepared for it? Well, to
be honest, I just have some difficulties in preparing for it, especially in science. There are extra
lessons in my school and I take them all. But I feel that they don’t help. I’m still confused in
solving Mathematic problems. I’m just worried that I fail the national examination. Do you have
any suggestion for me? I really appreciate your help.
Your buddy

As those close to me know, I am not good with goodbyes so I do apologize to those who feel
offended that I have left having written only this farewell letter, without personally shaking their
hand and exchanging best wishes.
I have so many people to thank for their support and dedication that it is impossible to personally
get to see you all with the short time that was available.
I truly am humbled to have worked with such a group of “get in and get it happening people” and
I am so proud of the achievements that you have accomplished both in the operation and (for
quite a lot of you) for your own personal accomplishments.
To those of you that I had the opportunity to coach and or set goals for, I commend each of you
for your achievements and hope that you continue to succeed through life journeys.
I can be contacted if required on 08159030832. I wish you all a Healthy, Safe and Prosperous
Year.

Dear Paula,
Hello Paula, how are you? It’s been a month since l last heard from you. Well l just wanted to

Aunty, I have some good news for you. Last month I passed my final examination. A week ago, I
succeeded to join in a senior high school English competition. Last night my parents promised to
send me to a famous English course in my town. They also promised me if my scores in English
are good, they’ll send me to a foreign university. Great, isn’t it? I’ll work hard. I want to be a
great paediatrician like you, Aunty.
Well, that’s all for now. Looking forward to having your news.
Love

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.

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 Sherly,
I’m writing to you concerning of my last day in Jogja. I just got back from Borobudur, the
wonderful temple I’ve ever seen. The weather is fine. We are now staying in a hotel. It’s not far
from Malioboro. We are treated well here. It has many excellent staff who serve the customers.
We plan to go around Malioboro after the children take a short nap. We want to enjoy having
“lesehan” there. It is a kind of a restaurant but we sit on the ground.
Many kinds of local handicraft are sold along Malioboro street. Both domestic and foreign
tourists are interested in them. I want to buy some as souvenirs. Don’t worry, I’ll also buy you
the most interesting one.
Love,
Mira
