So where are you?
We haven't seen you for ages and ages.
No letter either.
Are you ill?
Are you too busy to visit your neice?
Have you gone away?
We all miss you.
Don't forget it's my BIRTHDAY on the 28th.
Mum is making me a dress and trousers.
You must come to my party.
Please write, at once!

Love,

PS. And you promised me one of your poems.

So why didn't you come?
Are you upset with us?
You could at least have written.
You always write.
Have you got "writer's block"?
Remember our address: 24 Zankat Medina.
We haven't moved.
So I'll be waiting for the postman.

Your affectionate neice,

PS. DON'T FORGET MY BIRTHDAY.
PPS. Mum says she is going to make a cake, mint tea, almonds and sfinj - your favourites.
