"Dear Oby,

"I’m really glad to compose this letter to you. In fact, it affords me a great pleasure to say hello to you this time of the year. Compliment of the season. How are you and your dear husband? I’m sanguine that good pegs are going into the square holes without any hesitation.

"I would like to know about your present condition, more especially about your school. Is your husband still remembering his promise to you, that is, to sponsor you in furthering your education? Please let him not tantalize you because he promised and should keep to it. You will live more comfortably with your husband if you further. Therefore, you should persuade and convince him that there is no investment he makes that he will ever live to regret. It is a worthwhile venture. Try.

"Extend my greetings to your younger ones and your father. Please I would like to know about him.
