My dearest Melissa,
I know it's been awhile since we talked. I also know that you find writing traditional letters to be a drag. But I still like it.
Everything is fine here, how's mom and dad?
How's the business?
I watched the news, don't worry, I know what happened.
I'm very sorry to hear about the current situation. Tell dad to be more carful next time.
I know Canada isn't the usual setting, but I'm sure you'll get used to it soon, remember, that's were I lived when I first moved out.
That reminds me, are you still having trouble finding a place? You are older than me, but you're still living with them?
Tsk.
I should have guessed, you always were the ambitious type, but you could never settle in one place. But I'm sure being a starving artist isn't helping very much. Still, I hope you find a place soon, maybe get a boyfriend, settle down, have a family, you know how much mom wants little grand babies.
I'm sorry if this message isn't in the format you prefer, but if you made it this far before falling asleep, congratulations!
You're getting better at this!
I hope to talk to you soon.
Your loving brother, Aaron
