Dear Johnson,
Good day Big bro, trust you are good, and everything is fine with you, if so, all glory be to God. I am also fine here, helping out with house chores and keeping mummy's business going. Big bro, i got an information about you dropping out of school, I thought it was a joke not until a friend of yours Confirmed it. Big bro, I actually don't know your reasons for wanting to do this but I must say it is not a good idea. First and foremost, you know the condition of mummy's health and her business, you are the reason she is striving hard through this business, just to help you go through school, making sure you come out strong. Please don t disappoint the family with this decision of yours. Secondly, you are aware of the situation of the economy, you passing out of school with a good grade gives you a good opportunity to get a better job and earning a good amount of money. It also connects you to the right people with the right mindset. Lastly, Big bro, remember you are my role model, what will yoú be expecting from me, if you do this. I actually look up to you, so please don't disappoint me. I believe in you, I know you to be strong, courageous, and that no matter what, you can scale through this. We are all praying for you and we believe God will see you through. Big bro, there are many reasons why you don't have to go on with this decision to stop schooling and go into business but with these points, I believe I can convince you enough not to scale through with it. Please note that if you go ahead with your dropping out of school, you will hurt mummy and make her health deteriorate the more, which might lead to something worse and I am sure you wont want that to happen to her, not after all her sufferings just to see you through school. I earnestly plead with you to rethink this decision of yours. Best wishes big brother. I do hope you heed to my advice even though it is coming from your younger brother. I want to believe that the next time I will get any information about this; it will be a positive one in order to put a smile on my face. I love you big bro, hope to hear from you soon.
Yours sincerely,
Ubong.
