Dearest Cel,
Nice of you to write me as soon as you received my message. Ms. Cel, I got you clear, very clear. Only I have a little correction on my part. You’ve branded me “SCARED”. I don’t know why is it that you’ve chosen that simple word, or maybe you are only ashamed of writing the word “coward”. I guess it will be a little bit mean(?) if you’ve chosen that word. “Chicken” too will be alright for me, only to satisfy you. Sorry Cel, but I have to tell you all about that word. Just pretend that I was not hurt cause I can’t understand it up to the extend(?). My first time, the very first time of receiving such word. So don’t you worry it will be alright.
Until here may the Good Lord give you a friend that will not be a “scared” like me.
Permit me to give my million thanks to you.
Erning
P.S. I’ve forgot to tell you that I don’t have my picture by now. And if I have one, I will be ashamed of it, it looks like “The DRACULA”.
Same
