It must be exciting living on your own in the hostel college. Everything is fine here. You
know nothing much happens here.
Have you already settled in? when is your college starting? Do you like the place you are
living in? how is the neighborhood? I can’t believe you live on boarding. I will be starting
college soon as well but my parents insisted that I live at home. Anyway, a bunch of us
were talking about a reunion in summer holidays. So you better keep your calender free.
Nothing has been decided so suggestions are welcome!!!
That reminds me if you need anything let me know. I will gladly help. Have fun and don’t
stay out late. We miss you so much!!!
PS. I saw your mother the other day she misses you a lot and wishes that you called
more often.
Take care and stay safe. Write as soon as you can.
Love always,
Jane

As you already know, I have recently finished my postgraduate degree and will be leaving
for Denpasar at the end of this week. Please consider this to be my sincere goodbye to
you.
I want you to know that I am leaving here with truly mixed feelings; happy about
finishing my education, but sad to be leaving the school where I have had so many
unforgettable moments with you. The last two years as an English teacher at our great
school was the best period of my career so far. I learned a gread deal and worked with
you, who, I am sure, I will remain a good friend for along time. I can only hope that our
friendship will never end.
Thank you so much for making my time at the school a truly enjoyable one. Let’s
keep in touch. Speak to me before I leave on Friday and I will be happy to give you my
new phone number and e-mail address.
My very best wishes for the future go out to you.
Your sincerely,
Dona
