Beste Rina / John
Ik zal mij even voorstellen ik ben Nico Broeders van ome piet en tante To uit Nederland
Ik was via internet naar jullie aan het zoeken.
Toen kwam hier bij uit en las ik dat u man frank is gestorven.
Daarom wil ik hierbij mijn condoleanse uit brengen naar jou en jou familie
Hoe is het verder met jou en jou moeder en jou broer john
Mijn kinderen hebben mij geleerd om met Facebook om te gaan en was naar jullie zoeken maar met Facebook lukte mij niet om jullie te vinden
Ik hoop dat dat op deze manier wel gaat lukken
Ik hoop op een reactie van u
Met vriendelijke groeten
