Dear Jin Long,
You are an idiot! Do you still remember that I am your cousin? I still remember the times we shared when we were young. We went everywhere together, but somehow we just lost touch or maybe you just don’t want to talk to me anymore?
I heard from my mother that you signed a contract with the NS to work with them for 3-5 years! Well, I think you are an idiot. Your mother must be the reason you want to leave the house because of that time when she locked you in the room to study till you fainted and had to rush to the hospital. We both know that your mother can be difficult sometimes and we both hate her, but running away from your problems is never going to solve anything.
Think of the price you have to pay if you break the contract. $10 000 is not a small amount. I just want to let you know that even though your mother say harsh things about you and do stupid stuff like what I have just mentioned, deep down I know she still cares about you.
Sincerely yours,
Beverley
P.s. Not knowing how to spell your name is the measurement to how long we have not spoke to each other.
This letter lacks many specific details and also the self-reflection of thinking and contrasting yourself with who you were then to who you are now.
