You recently read an article in a newspaper about your childhood friend with whom you have lost contact for a long time. Write a letter to the editor. In your letter: • Say which edition and when did the article appear • Explain why you lost contact with your friend • Say how you want them to help you to get back in touch

Dear Sir or Madam, I am Rinku Jose, writing
this
letter to you to request to get help from you to find an old friend, who published an article recently in your newspaper. Allow me to elaborate on exactly why I would like
this
help to be realized.
Last
Thursday, there was an article about "Human power" in the paper.
Although
it is posted in the
second
edition,
this
made some unusual talks in our society. So that I go through
this
page for my study reference, and encountered my old classmate there.
However
, I lost my phone including all contacts and addresses of
this
friend
last
year.
Moreover
, I checked my social media to retrieve the phone numbers. But unfortunately, I lost my old account as well. I trust you can emphasise my situation,
thus
I am expecting you to provide the mobile number or address of the writer of
this
article. So that I could inform him about the opportunities to be involved in our alumni activities happening
next
Sunday. Your timely attention to
this
matter is needed. Sign\name
