Dear Sameer
I just found from Manoj that you had a bike accident last Friday and broke you ankle. So sorry to hear that!
I am planning to come visit you in the hospital in a few days; Dawa and Mingma may join, too. As you know, our final exams are round the corner, so I’m worried about you. I will bring some notes for you to continue studying in the hospital. I hope you will not be there for long. Wishing you a quick recovery!
Take care of your health and get well soon. I will come visit you as early as possible!
Your loving friend
Mukhiya
