Dear Joe,
Hi,
Yeah, I know you will be angry with me.
You kept writing letters and I never replied to one.
Yes it’s my fault; I failed to keep in touch.
Its not that I had forgotten you, it’s just a busy life you know.
Over time, even you stopped writing letters to me; you must have been fed up of me not replying to you.
I remember our college days, when we were the best of friends. We still are, aren’t we? Distance doesn’t break friendships.
Let’s meet up and revive the old times. I will be coming to UK next month for a week’s holiday. I know you will be glad to meet me and so am I. See you soon.
Your friend,
Sam
P.S.: I have decided to spend the maximum time possible with you while I stay there, so I haven’t made any hotel bookings. I will stay at your home.

Sam thought over it for minute. True, Joe was his best friend once, but over time they had lost contact. For last two years he hadn’t heard a word from him. But then again, Joe was one of those emotional guys. He will never forget old friends. Free accommodation in UK for a week was done.
A few days afterwards he received a letter.

Mr. Sam,
Sorry to inform you, but your dear friend Joe died two years back. Since he stayed alone and had no family members, his house was auctioned and I am the new owner of this house. I understand your grief and hope that you come over it soon. May God bless your good friend’s soul.
Yours truly…
Mr. Arthur Alright

Sam sighed. “There goes my trip”
Or perhaps not!
Why UK…why not France!
Time to write another letter…
