Dear Radha,
Hope this letter finds you in best of your spirit.
I am writing this letter specially to tell you about the dangers of consuming drugs. Drug consumption initially starts just out of curiosity, but when coaxed by friends, people start consuming for pleasure. This, slowly over a period of time, turns into a habit.
Some start consuming drugs to get over boredom. Soon with regular consumption, they start having depression symptoms .It then becomes a necessity .They lose interest in things around them, their hands start shaking and they lose appetite, they do not retain any interest in sports, academics, etc. Their eyes turn puffy and slowly they even tend to lose vision. Those who consume drugs regularly have temper tantrums. The person becomes the slave of drugs and if he is deprived, he develops several withdrawal symptoms. It slowly kills a person from inside.
We need to treat such people with understanding and sympathy.
Dear Radha, drugs are a curse on the society and one should not even try them. You need to be healthy to achieve success for yourself in the world.
Convey my regards to aunt and uncle and love to Beena.
Yours affectionately,

Dear Radha
Hope this letter finds you in soaring spirits and vibrant
health. I am writing to you to share a very sad news with you. Suresh, one of
my classmates, has become victim of drug addiction. He has been such a bright
student, but now his condition is very critical. First of all he just started
taking drugs out of curiosity. His addiction and dependency compelled him to
consume more quantity. Within a few months the drugs had such a deep influence
his mind, body and soul. He stopped taking interest in academic and
co-curricular activities. He became very weak physically as the drugs had
killed his appetite. The skin under his eyes would always remain puffy and
dark. Most of the time he would remain irritated. Then all of a sudden he
stopped coming to school. He had to be hospitalized. As you must already be aware about the many
negative effects of drugs, my unfortunate classmate soon began to suffer many
health complications. His liver and pancreas were damaged badly. He is lying in
ICU at a local hospital. His family is so depressed! I did not know drugs could
damage a person’s body and mind so much!
Dear friend, it is my personal appeal to you to never ever
give in to the temptation of tasting any drug. I know your moral principals are
very strong. I am also proud of your self-control and abstinence. However,
being your bosom pal, I felt it my bounden duty to edify you. I will be
visiting you next month.
Give regards to uncle and aunt.
Your Loving Friend
Mangla
