Dear my friend,
I am writing this letter from a very beautiful village in Hokkaido, Japan.
How are you my old friend? It's been two years I never heard from you. miss you.
A genuine friend like you is really hard to find, so I don't want to lose you. But since left my hometown and move here to Japan, we lost contact. We don't communicate very often afterward. The number you gave me no longer reachable, and also your social media account is not active.
I assume maybe you've lost your handphone or something else that's why I write this letter only to be in touch with you again. Our friendship should carry on until we get old like you've told me.
So if you read this letter please contact me as soon as you can. Here is my phone number 072557575 and you can also find me on Facebook or e-mail at mizuki_a@gmail.com.
