NY, July 1, 2010

Dear Ari,

Hallo Ri, How are you now? It has been a very very long time we do not meet each other since you and your family moved to Kalimantan just after our graduation from the elementary school. There is no chance to meet again after all. I hope the long distance won’t ruin our friendship. What about your life? I hope you’re happy with your life and everything good for you. I will never forget all the times that we shared and all the memories that we have. 
They are instilled in my head forever. Maybe you didn't think what do I do now. I am a teacher, an English teacher. I was graduated  from Faculty of Teacher Training and Education majoring in English. Now, I have been  teaching in a junior high school for about five years. It's very nice to be able to share knowledge with others and having many friends of educated and nice people. Actually there are many things that I wish I could tell you, but I must be back to my routines.  Let me know about everything. I hope one day we have a chance to sit together talking back  about our past time.  Looking forward to hearing soon from you.

Yours
