Read the informal letter
Dear Rebecca
I totally miss your life is just not the same around this old town without you here, I miss our
Jokes, our long conversations, our secretsI cannot WAIT for you to come home from your
summer vacation!
You are not going to believe who I saw at the movies the other day. Go ahead, guess! Nope!
Try again. I saw Jake, and he is looking hotter than ever. In a weird sort of way, I can't wait
for school to start again so I can stare of him every day
Have you done anything exciting in the Catskills? Do they even have a mall nearby? I would
Just die if I couldn't shop for eight weeks!
Can't wait for you to get home and liven up this place! Mom is calling, so I will write more
later
Love,
Myra
