Hi Ali,

It’s been a while since we last met! I’m so glad that we are going to see each other next week. However, unfortunately the book you gave it to me was accidentaly damaged, and I feel terribly sorry.

I was reading the book and drinking a cup of tea at the same time while enjoying my afternoon, and all of a sudden I dropped the cup on the book, which ruined some parts of the papers. afterwared, I tried to dry it up, but all the pages became curly and brown.

I know how important this book was for you, therefore I would like to order it online from Amazon. But to make you happy, I am going to order the limmited edition of it, which only 1000 of it has been published.

Once again, I’m truly sorry for your book, and I hope you like the new one that I’m going to give it to you soon.

See you soon.

Best,

Amin
