Dear Grace,

Please let me express my deepest sympathies to you and the

children. I was shocked and traumatized when I heard about Frank's
horrific accident. I can't even imagine what you have been going
through for the past ten days.
As you know, Frank and I have been colleagues and friends for the
past eight years. His tragic loss leaves a terrible emptiness in our office.
He was so well-liked and respected by everyone who came into contact
with him, both colleagues and clients alike. He had tremendous people
skills, and as such, was a role model in our company and the industry at
large.
 Grace, please feel free to contact me if I can help in any way while
you go through this very difficult period. I will support you in any way
that you can reach out to me.
Also, please tell the children how terribly devastated all of us are
here at the company due to their father's tragic passing.

Sincere sympathy,

John Smith

simple, pioneering and managing your own business is not as easy as
imagined. In addition to having to be firm, there are other important
things that must be prepared carefully.

1. ​Convince yourself
Start to strengthen your heart before deciding your choice. If you are
still half-hearted when you start building a business, you will be more
easily dropped by circumstances. Instead of success, the business you
build actually stops in the middle of the road.
2. ​Thinking "Out of the Box"
There is no successful businessman without thinking creatively. The
online transportation business, for example, sees opportunities for how
this business will become a solution for urban society. Well, so make it
a habit to hone thinking skills to be more creative.
3. ​Focus on one business first
Don't rush to double your profits by starting a second business. Make
sure the business that you manage is now truly stable, both in terms of
capital, human resources, and other needs.
4. ​Run a business that you master
 Talking about business certainly speaks of profit. There are times when
things you like are less profitable, it's a good idea to put aside the things
you like and focus on what you are good at. Understand your potential,
then apply it to the focus of your business.

tranquility of life, abundant of water was suddenly emerged and formed
a lake.
The bluish water was clear. This incident confused the residents.
They wondered where the water came from.
News about the formation of a lake was spread quickly. A
traditional ceremony was held to uncover the mystery of the emergence
of the lake.
Kentongan​ was sounded as a sign that all residents of Lisawa
village had to gather. They rushed to come and listen to the findings to
be delivered by the customary elder.
The traditional elder dignifiedly asked "Who among you there are
family members who are not present but also not at home?". The
residents began to look at each other. Then two families said that they
had lost their members. Because they were reluctant to name the two
children, they only mentioned the general call of the Galela people,
Majojaru(female) and Magohiduuru ( male).
Majojaru and Magohiduuru were lovers. When Magohiduuru said
goodbye to sail, both of them had promised to keep their love.
Six months after Magohiduuru's departure, Majojaru remained
loyal waiting. However, the storm apparently sank Magohiduuru.
News about Magohiduuru was finally heard in Lisawa village. It
made Majojaru shocked. In a very unhappy state Majojaru tried to find
shelter while calming his heart. Unstoppable tears were released. The
water continued to flow the sharp rocks beneath the banyan tree.
Majojaru finally sank into his own tears.
 A small lake was formed. The water was as clear as tears and the
color was blue. Residents of Lisawa village also mourned. They
promised to guard and maintain the lake. They named it ​Telaga Biru.

gives a voice to who your brand is. Before purchasing from an
unknown entity, people are scouring that company's social media

Secondly, social media send people to your website. ​There’s only so

more species of ants than the whole of Britain! 480 varieties of trees
may be found in just one hectare of rainforest. These forests sustain
around 50% of all the species on Earth, and offer a way of life to many
people living in and around the forest.
Rainforests are the lungs of the planet – storing vast quantities of
carbon dioxide and producing a significant amount of the world’s
oxygen. Rainforests have their own perfect system for ensuring their
own survival; the tall trees make a canopy of branches and leaves which
protect not only themselves, but also smaller plants, and the forest
animals from heavy rain, intense dry heat from the sun and strong
winds.
They are not called rainforests for nothing! Rainforests can generate
75% of their own rain. At least 80 inches of rain a year is normal – and
in some areas there may be as much as 430 inches of rain annually.
 Worryingly, a number of rainforests around the world are
disappearing at an alarming rate, due to deforestation, river pollution,
and soil erosion as land is being claimed for agriculture and trees are
cut down for wood. A few thousand years ago, tropical rainforests
covered as much as 12% of the land surface on Earth, but today this has
fallen to less than 5.3%.

1975. This migration was at its highest in 1978 and 1979, but continued
 through the early 1990s. The term is also often used generically to refer
to all the Vietnamese (about 2 million) who left their country by any
means between 1975 and 1995. This article uses boat people to apply
only to those who fled Vietnam by boat.
The number of boat people leaving Vietnam and arriving safely in
another country totaled almost 800,000 between 1975 and 1995. Many
of the refugees failed to survive the passage, facing danger from pirates,
over-crowded boats, and storms. The boat people's first destinations
were the ​Southeast Asian​ countries of ​British Hong
Kong​, ​Indonesia​, ​Malaysia​, ​Philippines​, ​Singapore​, and ​Thailand​.
External tensions stemming from Vietnam's dispute with Cambodia and
China in 1978 and 1979 caused an exodus of the majority of the ​Hoa
people​, of whom more than 170,000 fled overland into the province of
Guangxi, China, from the North; the remainder fled by boat from the
South. This new influx brought the number of refugees in China to
around 200,000. In addition, the Vietnamese military also began
expelling ethnic Hoa from Vietnam-occupied Kampuchea, leading to
over 43,000 refugees of mostly Hoa descent fleeing overland to
Thailand. By 1980, the refugee population in China reached 260,000.

Some people say that illegal immigration benefits the US economy
through additional tax revenue, expansion of the low-cost labor pool,
and increased money in circulation. They contend that immigrants bring
good values, have motivations consistent with the American dream,
perform jobs that Americans won’t take, and that opposition to
immigration stems from racism.

Opponents of illegal immigration say that people who break the law by
crossing the US border without proper documentation or by overstaying
their visas should be deported and not rewarded with a path to
citizenship and access to social services. They argue that people in the
country illegally are criminals and social and economic burdens to
law-abiding, tax-paying Americans.

As a country relying on law supremacy, any people are allowed to

immigrate to this country. However, these people must perform in
accordance with the laws that we have agreed upon.
