Dear Liu Ming,

Hi! I’m so sad. Angela is a close friend of mine. This morning she wanted to borrow some money from me. If I lend her the money, I’m afraid she won’t pay me back. I don’t know what to do. Do you have the same problem? I need your help. I’m looking forward to hearing from you soon.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 Yours,

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 Alice

Dear Alice,

I’m glad to hear from you .
