14, Market Road, Government Secondary School, Ikeja, Lagos. 12th October, 2023. Dear Kunle, I hope this letter meets you in good health and in high spirits. How is your family? Please give my regards to your parents and your younger sister. We were all sad to hear that you have been sick and unable to come to school. How is your health now? I hope the doctor's treatment is helping and that you are getting better each day. Please take your drugs on time, eat well and rest. The whole class prays for your quick recovery. Let me tell you what has been happening in school since you left. First, our Mathematics teacher has finished the topic on algebra and we wrote a test last week. I will lend you my notes so that you can catch up. Second, the inter-house sports competition took place on Friday. Our house, Blue House, came second, and I won the 100 metres race. Third, the principal announced that the Junior WAEC (BECE) registration will start next month, so you should tell your parents. Finally, the class prefect has asked me to tell you that your name is still on the class list and everyone misses you. Please get well soon and return to school. I look forward to seeing you. Your friend, Emeka.
