Dear Wang Lin,
How are you doing? When I watched the news on TV, I learned that a terrible earthquake happened in your city. I was really concerned about you and your family.
I'm so sorry to hear about the disaster. It caused six deaths and left more than five hundred persons injured. What's worse, 20 persons were missing and over two hundred houses fell down. I hope that none of your family members were injured.
Please don't be worried. Everything will be fine. If you need any help, please let me know. As one of your best friends, I will do what I can to help you.
Yours sincerely,
Tom
