To Marije,

I am not surprise or wonder why Dennis leave you why? What reason can you think about but you’re very fat body. I thought before that Dennis only use me to his toy but sooner and later I’m realize that he really can’t not beared or stomached to be with you anymore because at first, Dennis say he could not stand you’re habit of making pakialam all his walks (lakad) and always calling to their house what he go home or this or that.

And then he say he get ashame to me either in school or in his family and then asking you to exercise you’re very very, very fat body. But you hate it. Thought you’re the most preetiest girls he knows about. What do you think you are “ Beautiful Girl” of Jose Mari Chan?

Even you are beautiful face (to your think) you do not have the right to called me whatsoever or else difference name one time or the other for the real purposed to insults my personality because I’m never call you names either in the front of Dennis or in the backs of Dennis, but if you start already to calling me different name, I don’t have any other choice but to call you other different name to. Like you are a PIG, FAT, OBESSED, OVERWIGHT, AND UGLY SHAPE girl. Shame to you is body that is to a BUDING.

You can’t not blame Dennis for exchanging you to me because I am the more sexier that you when you look to us in the mirror. I’m repeat again that you are like Lozada when she is a girl.

Love,

The sexiest Girl of D.M.

P.S.

You say that I’m the bad breathe but who is Dennis want to kissed. Me or you? And the final is me. There you go.

Blogger’s Comment:

                        I did not understand the letter when I first read it. The letter for me is very expressive of what the feelings of the writer were while writing the certain letter. Having that kind of grammar in English might be a big loss in one person’s life. This letter shows how English affects a task given to a certain person. This letter is one proof of how important is having correct grammar in communication. This makes me realize how important English is that everyone must take it as a subject in school for learning.

October 1996

To Marije,

I am not surprise or wonder why Dennis left you. I cannot think of any other reason but your very fat body. Before, I thought that Dennis only used me as his toy but after sometime I realized that he can’t bear to be with you anymore. Dennis said he could not tolerate your habit of intriguing all his affairs and calling their house for nonsensical concerns.

He then said that he gets ashamed to anyone even to me, his family or his school buddies because of you. He even asked you to exercise and to get rid of your very, very, very fat body. But you do not agree to do what he said. You think you are the prettiest of all the girls he knew. Who do you think you are, the “Beautiful Girl” of Jose Mari Chan?

Even you thought that you are beautiful, you do not have the right to call me whatsoever names on any time you like to just to insult my personality. I never called you in insulting names either in the front or back of Dennis. But since you started calling me these names, I don’t have any other choice but calling you different names also. You are a FAT, OBESSE, OVERWEIGHT, UGLY-SHAPED and PIG-LIKE girl. Be ashamed of your bulging body.

You can’t blame Dennis for exchanging you for me because I am sexier than you if you would compare us in front of a mirror. I’ll repeat it again; you are like a girl version of Lozada.

Love,

The sexiest Girl of D.M.

P.S.

You said that I have a bad breathe? But who is the one Dennis wants to have a kiss with, me or you? That is me.
