Hi Roger,

I write you to say goodbye, we were good coworkers these 8 months (june-february),
but I have a better job proposal.
Maybe we won't see each other in a long time because I have to change my city, I don't
want to change, but it's the best for my children too, in the new city they have better
schools! You understand me?

But don't worry, I promise to write to you even once a week to talk to you about how
I'm doing and also for you to tell me about the things that happen in the colony, and
when you have a 'party' don't hesitate to invite us and We will come to visit you
immediately.

Hope to hear from you soon.
