Explanation:
Dear Family,
I hope you all are fine there. I am working in Caribbean as an indentured labourer. Through this letter, I want to tell you about my work life and hardships. I have been hired by the colonisers under a contract which included wrong information regarding the place of work, mode of travel and living and working conditions. The contractor uses harsh and abusive language for us. There is a lot of work at the plantations with a heavy workload and sometimes I have to finish all of it in just one day. The contractor cuts my wages if he is not satisfied with my work. I am living here a slave’s life. I know you will be very upset to know my situation but the governments here are thinking to introduce new laws to protect the labourers like us. So, I hope this situation will pass soon.
Your Loving,

Dear Beloved Family,
I am writing to you today with a heavy heart, from the depths of my soul. These past few years as an indentured labourer in the Caribbean have been the most trying and difficult times of my life. The moment I signed that contract, I knew that I was leaving everything behind, including my family and my beloved homeland.
As you may remember, I come from a small village in central India where we have always struggled to make ends meet. The poverty and oppression we experienced there were overwhelming, and the idea of escaping it all to seek a better life overseas seemed like a godsend. Little did I know what awaited me in this new world.
The sea voyage to the Caribbean was a long and arduous journey, and we were not even told the details of what we were getting ourselves into. Some of us were even unwillingly abducted and brought here. As we arrived, we were introduced to the harsh living and working conditions, which were worse than I had ever imagined. We were treated like slaves, and we had few legal rights. Life was brutal, and every day was a struggle to survive.
Despite all of this, I have found solace in the hope of returning home to see you all again. I think of you all every single day and how much I miss you. The thought of reuniting with you all, of seeing your faces, of hugging you all once again, has kept me going through the darkest of days.
And yet, as my contract period is coming to an end, I find myself torn between two worlds. On the one hand, the memories of the poverty and oppression back home still haunt me. On the other hand, the fear of the unknown and what awaits me if I stay here is equally overwhelming. It's a difficult decision to make, and I am struggling to find the right path forward.
As I reflect on my time here, I realize that this experience has changed me in ways I could never have imagined. It has given me a new appreciation for the simple joys of life and the importance of family. It has shown me the power of resilience and the strength of the human spirit.
So, my dear family, as I write this letter to you, I hope you can feel the depth of my emotions and know that you are always on my mind. Please know that I will do my best to make the most of this situation, and I pray that I will see you all again soon.
With all my love,
