Dear Friend, good morning.

We write you this letter to tell you that we were very happy to receive your news. We also received the presents (1 ball and the pictures).

It is the beginning of the rainy season. Presently Sekou's father is sick and his grandparents work on the farm. Sekou is still very young to attend school, he will go to school when he is grown up. We are all doing well here. But Sekou's brother has died in April.

We wish that it will rain a lot this year. We wish a good season to you.

Thanks,

Sekou's mother
