Dear Frodi,
It was a real sorrow that I heard this morning of your great loss. I knew your mother was ill, for your brother told me several weeks ago. However, as he at that time did not seem to think the illness was very serious, the news of your mother’s death came to me as a shock. You have my sincere and heartfelt sympathy, my dear fellow, in your sorrow. I know you will feel it deeply, for you always thought so much of your mother and loved her so truly. I feel it also as a personal loss to myself, for your mother was always very kind to me. Her death must be a terrible grief to your father, too. Please assure him of my sincere sympathy.
Words, I know, are poor comforters. “The heart knows its own sorrow”, and in such sorrows we are always alone. However, it is not mere words when I say that I feel with you in your sorrow.

Your sincere friend,
Jean

Arti
Kepada Frodi ,
Sungguh kesedihan yang saya dengar pagi ini tentang kehilangan besar Anda. Aku tahu ibumu sakit, karena kakakmu memberitahuku beberapa minggu yang lalu. Namun, karena dia pada waktu itu tampaknya tidak berpikir penyakitnya sangat serius, berita kematian ibumu datang kepada saya sebagai kejutan. Anda memiliki simpati yang tulus dan sepenuh hati, teman baik saya, dalam kesedihan Anda. Saya tahu Anda akan merasakannya dalam-dalam, karena Anda selalu begitu memikirkan ibu Anda dan sangat mencintainya. Saya merasakannya juga sebagai kerugian pribadi bagi diri saya sendiri, karena ibumu selalu sangat baik kepada saya. Kematiannya pasti sangat menyedihkan bagi ayahmu juga. Tolong yakinkan dia akan simpati tulus saya.
Kata-kata, saya tahu, adalah selimut yang buruk. “Hati tahu kesedihannya sendiri”, dan dalam kesedihan seperti itu kita selalu sendirian. Namun, itu bukan kata-kata belaka ketika saya mengatakan bahwa saya merasa bersama Anda dalam kesedihan Anda.

Temanmu yang tulus,
Jean

Dear Susan,
It feels like such a long time since the last time I saw you. I know it’s only been several weeks since I saw you. So far my summer has been great!
I spend my all my weekends at the beach. I am getting a nice tan and you can no longer say I am paler than you. I have been playing lots of volleyball, surfing and building a nice collection of sea shells. Just this past week-end I took second place in a sandcastle building contest!
On the weekdays I work. I drive an ice cream truck around and sell ice cream to the kids. It is so cool. It is a combination of the two things I love most, ice cream and kids. The pay isn’t too great but I love the job so much.
I hope the summer’s been going well for you too. There’s only a month and a half left in summer vacation and after that it’s back to school. Would you like to meet up some time before school starts?

Your friend,

Rasanya sudah lama sekali sejak terakhir kali aku melihatmu. Aku tahu ini baru beberapa minggu sejak aku melihatmu. Sejauh ini musim panas saya sangat menyenangkan!
Saya menghabiskan akhir pekan saya di pantai. Saya mendapatkan cokelat yang bagus dan Anda tidak bisa lagi mengatakan saya lebih pucat daripada Anda. Saya telah bermain banyak bola voli, berselancar dan membangun koleksi kerang laut yang bagus. Baru-baru ini di akhir minggu lalu saya menempati posisi kedua dalam kontes membangun istana pasir!
Di hari kerja saya bekerja. Saya mengendarai truk es krim dan menjual es krim kepada anak-anak. Itu sangat keren. Ini adalah kombinasi dari dua hal yang paling saya sukai, es krim dan anak-anak. Bayarannya tidak terlalu besar tetapi saya sangat menyukai pekerjaan itu.
Saya harap musim panas juga berjalan baik untuk Anda. Tinggal satu setengah bulan lagi di liburan musim panas dan setelah itu kembali ke sekolah. Apakah Anda ingin bertemu beberapa saat sebelum sekolah dimulai?

To all Colleagues and Friends,
As those close to me know, I am not good with goodbyes so I do apologize to those who feel offended that I have left having written only this farewell letter, without personally shaking their hand and exchanging best wishes.
I have so many people to thank for their support and dedication that it is impossible to personally get to see you all with the short time that was available.
I truly am humbled to have worked with such a group of “get in and get it happening people” and I am so proud of the achievements that you have accomplished both in the operation and (for quite a lot of you) for your own personal accomplishments.
To those of you that I had the opportunity to coach and or set goals for, I commend each of you for your achievements and hope that you continue to succeed through life journeys.
I can be contacted if required on 08159030832. I wish you all a Healthy, Safe and Prosperous Year.
