Sample Answer:

Hi Jane,

Hope this letter will find you in good health. I am writing this letter to let you know that the last Sunday my car was crashed by a van. Although the headlights have been smashed to pieces, the bonnet is all smashed, the roof has been caved in, but fortunately nothing serious injuries happened to me. My left arm has just broken.

You know that I love to spend my holiday with my parents. That is why, I drove to my parents’ apartment 40 minutes away from my house. I drove very carefully, but a van, drove by a drunk driver, came rashly from opposite site and hit my car before understanding the situation. Afterwards, I cannot recall anything that I fainted. However, by the grace of god, no serious injuries happened to me. My left arm has broken and I feel a slight pain in my entire body. The doctor tells me that within three or four days I can return to my house.

Please pray for me so that I can be cured early. Take care of yourself.

Lots of love,
John
