Sometimes your penpal,who writes to you very often,haven't been mailing you for a while.This occurres even if you are on very good terms with him/her.

If you wrote something that hurts your penpal and you're aware of it, the only way to make up with him/her is to apologize. If he/she doesn't forgive you,it can't be helped.

But what if he/she just seems busy? Wait for a while,and he/she writes you in most cases. If you ask for his/her answer impatiently,he/she feels it annoying. As a result, your penpal won't write to you anymore, even though he/she was going to mail you as soon as he/she got free time.

But if you're a lot concerned about how your penpal has been doing, you can mail to him/her, telling him/her that you care him/her.

Here is an example of good mail.

Hello. I haven't heard from you lately, so I'm concerned about you If you're busy, I understand. You don't have to hurry to write me, and just concentrate on what you have to do.Please write me when you have the time. Take care

And here's a disgusting one:

I haven't got your mail yet. I don't think you are as honest as I expected before. Did you forget me? I've been waiting for your mail long. So write me as soon as possible.

Some of you may have wondered if there are people that write such a mail. But one of my ex-penpal really did write a similar one when I was busy with the final. What's worse, he sent me the same mail again after I said I was taking an important exam and asked to wait for a moment. And I stopped writing him.
