Dear uncle,
I'm not so happy to write this letter to you due to the circumstances which necessitated my writing as a matter of urgency. You know that it is always my habit to wait for a reply to my letter before writing another one but I decided to write now because of a terrible storm which heralded the arrival of the first rain this year destroyed many houses in Kano, and unfortunately. our family house was among the houses destroyed and left devastated by the storm.
It all started as a gathering dark cloud in the sky and everybody was expecting a refreshing time from the heat which had almost smothered down life out of the people for some time now. The clouds gathered for a period of almost two hours after which there was this terrible storm which started blowing heavily across the city. In a little time, it became so intolerable and violent that what started as a mere wind grew to become a great cyclone blowing off the roofs of so many houses. It blew off windows and doors of many other houses thus rendering them unsafe for the in-coming rain.
The terrible storm affected our family house badly. It blew off the roof and pulled down parts of the wall. We had to pack out all the family belongings and look for another house in our neighbourhood to sleep that night. Uncle, the family has no house to live in: we are now squatting with a friend of our father.
Therefore, it is necessary that you should offer a help to us so that the house can be reconstructed. In other words. the family is expecting you to send some money to us for the reconstruction of the house. Our father is old now and it won't be proper for them to be squatting in another man's house. I'll be happy if you can handle the matter with the urgency that it requires.
How is your work and family? I hope that things are going on very well. Extend my sincere greetings to your wife, Tayo, Olu and the little Dupe. I hope to hear from you very soon.
Yours sincerely,
Taiwo.
