Dear Kumiko,
How are you? I understand that the 9.0 magnitude tsunami struck your village in Fukushima, almost everything has been
levelled and the villagers are currently staying in cramp shelters. I also understand that your daughter was swept away by
the tsunami waves and she is yet to be found.
I sympathise with you about this. However, do not be upset. Rescue workers from several countries have been scouring the
quake site these few days. These people are mostly from the Civil Defense of their repective countries and have the
experience in the field of rescuing. With their help, your wife should be found soon. I also understand that your house
and cars have been destroyed by the tsunami waves. After things have settled down, I can lend you some money to purchase a
new house. Alternatively, you can also come over to Singapore. I have two vacant room in my apartment and can let you stay
here while things are settled in Japan.
I urge you to stay optimistic during this period of time. Do take care of yourself by drinking and eating sufficiently.
Being displaced to a shelter might not be that bad after all. You can take this opportunity to interact with the people
there, something that you would not have time to do during normal days. Perhaps, you might even get to know a few new
friends.
Do lead a happy life, have enough rest and remember to look after your children. Be tough in this period of ordeal.
Cheers,
Sam
