Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing regarding an article in your newspaper that I read last Sunday, the 15th of February to ask you for some information about Nick, who appeared in your article. The article titled “A wonderful teacher”, and was published on the 15th. It was about Nick, an Mathematics teacher in a rural area and was written by Mrs. Jones. When I read it, I immediately recognised him, one of my best friends in my childhood. We used to be our best friends till we were 18, however, after he moved to Da Nang City to pursue his dream, we lost contact. It has been 10 years since the last time I met him. Reading your article, I was really excited and I hope you could kindly help me to contact him or some address that I could write to. I sincerely appreciate your help and I am looking forward to your response soon. Your faithfully, Hie.
