Dear Bola,
How are you? I hope that you are trying to settle down with your studies after the long vacation. I have not been able to be myself since the quarrel which led to the break in our relationship. In fact, I still cannot believe that the little misunderstanding caused by backbiters, who call themselves our friends could escalate to such proportion. It is, indeed, a pity that we allowed those who pretended to be our friends to bring us on a war path. The fact is that I did not say what they claimed that I said. How on earth could I call you a bitch because you are in love with John?
Therefore, I am writing this letter to express regret at the break in our relationship. i felt the pains of the break in our relationship when my mother asked of you when I was home last vacation. She found it difficult to forgive me for allowing our little misunderstanding to degenerate to the level that we don't greet each other whenever we meet. I also miss you greatly because when I remember all the good time we have had together, I always feel remorse for my part in the quarrel. As you know that we used to exchange visits during the holiday and you always spent some weeks with my family, my parents also miss you. My junior ones were asking of you when I was home last vacation. They couldn't believe that we could keep each other at arms length.
However, I want us to bury the hatchet and be friends again. I want you to believe that I cannot say all those unprintable things that those backbiters claimed that I said about you. We should not allow anybody to bring enmity and bickering between us. I want our friendship to be restored so that we can go back to those memorable days of perfect relationship. I am sure that we will be happy for this.
Kunle, my brother. will be celebrating his birthday next month. I am inviting-you to the party. My mummy will be very happy to see you there. Extend my sincere greetings to your sisters and brothers.
Yours sincerely.
Titilayo.
