Dear Freya,
How are you, Freya? It has been a long time that I don’t send you a letter. I
miss you so much.

By the way how’s your holiday? I just stayed at home during the holiday. It
was a bit boring. I wanted to visit Mutun beach but my mom didn’t allow
me. She said that it would be very crowded during the holidays and we
should do social distancing. Therefore I just stayed at home. I scrolled my
social media along the day and when I saw our pictures I missed you so
much. Please reply the letter soon. I want to know about your holiday. I
hope it was fun.

Yours,

Devka
