Dear George,

How are you? We havent spoken for a long time. I know this, because it was my mistake. I am
fine, but my soul has no peace. This is the hardest letter I have ever written. I feel terrible and I
want , at least, to try to explain my mistakes. My explanation would sound stupid, but I did what
I did because I was blinded by jewelry and luxury. I thought that having a good rich life and
expensive clothes is the most important that you can have. But I was wrong.
I'm sorry you had to suffer from my foolishness and I do not blame ( a invinovati) you for being
upset with me. I feel I owe (a datora) you a personal apology. My behavior was extremely
inappropriate, immature, and lacked the respect you deserve, both as my brother and my friend. I
am sorry for my actions and I hope one day you could forgive your sinner (pacatos) brother.
Now I regret a lot for what I had done. The burden (povara), the heartbreak (durere sufleteasca)
and the dishonour I had caused to you it has no limits. I have tremendous respect for you , and
despite hurting you I hope we can put this matter behind us ( a lasa totul in trecut/ in urma).
I look forward to your answer.
Love you,
Tom.
