Dear Sarah,
After recently listening you talk about going to live abroad, I have been thinking about how my life will change without you.
We first met in high school, where we were very close friends. Then, we went to college and lost touch with each other. But now, when I feel like I’ve just got my best friend back, you’re talking about moving abroad. I can’t help but feel sad about that. It may be selfish of me however I value our friendship a great deal and I would miss you so very much if you were to go! I have got so many wonderful memories of times we have spent together. Remember your sister’s wedding, when we danced until two in the morning?
Additionally, have you considered the practical difficulties you will face? Going abroad is a very big step. You will have to find accommodation; make new friends not to mention find a new job (not easy in the current hard economic times). You have a great job here and you are lucky to have the support of your family and friends too. Why do you want to leave all this behind to move abroad?
As you know, I disagree with you moving abroad but I will support any decision you make. At the end of the day, it is your future, your life and your decision.
Yours faithfully
Jackie
