Letter to Japan

Dear Nick Jones ,
I am Kenneth Tan and I am a student of Hwa Chong Institution. Recently, I have been reading the papers and watching the news about the events that happen in Japan. I empathize with the state Japan is in; you must remain strong and be resilient. You should count your blessings and be grateful that you and your family are still alive.
I am shocked as such a powerful and great country, like Japan has met with a crisis. The 9.0 magnitude earthquake and tsunami that hit the northeastern coast of Japan have caused devastating results, such as many people being stranded, homeless and the Fukushima Power Plant has been partially destroyed. The human population of Japan faces the threat of exposure to radiation resulting in health problems like death by cancer due to the nuclear reactors facing meltdown.
After reading your story, I pity the citizens of Japan and I am glad to know that I am fortunate to be staying in a country where no natural disasters happen because we are shielded by many other countries. We pray for the Japanese and we are generously donating so that Japan will be able to tide over this difficult period. There are many international organizations, for example, the Red Cross, rendering their help. Hwa Chong Institution has also been actively participating in the collection of funds so that we are able to play our part and contribute to helping Japan.
The death toll in Japan is now over ten thousand and many are still missing. I am able to understand how you feel for my good friend, Jerome was in Japan when the natural disaster happened, the entire class is worried and hopes that he returns safe and sound. I do hope that you will write more about the situation Japan is currently in as we will never be able to experience the state of pandemonium and despair the people of Japan are in now.
Be strong, you will definitely be able to pull through and recover from this natural disaster.

Regards,
Kenneth Tan
