Dear Mary,
I hope that you have enjoyed your Christmas holidays. Is still Paris so wonderful in winter? Your brother and I travelled through Morocco during a week and were truly captivated by the landscapes, the kind hospitability of people and, above all, the splendorous nights at the desert. We have to talk about that in our next family meeting, ok?
You will be surprised that I write a letter instead of making a call as I usually do, but I prefer doing that on this occasion, so there is no possibility that your brother can hear what I need to explain to you. He is now stuck in a rut at work, his company has failed in the latest decisions about which the best option against its competitors could be, and the situation will be worse in a few months.
As you know better than I, John has a doubtful mind, although he has an excellent training in his speciality. But, prior to that, you need to know the latest news. A great change can be done in our life little before the next year will arrive. The most important agent of art design in Edinburgh has sent an interesting proposal for John as a middle manager, and he must decide soon about this offer. John is admirable as a designer, though he will always regret not finishing his PhD when he was younger. I have thought that he can obtain a PhD without any problem before the next year arrives, he is fully able to do it and I told him so.
What I am trying to say is that I need you to help me to convince him, because he doubts whether accepting this offer could be a good option, partially because he is worried about the situation of his company and I suppose that he has sit any confidence in his possibilities of achieving the PhD in a year either. On the other hand, if we are capable of convincing him that could be a good medicine. In this way he will have an important goal and his temper will surely change. Lately he has become the less talkative man that I have ever known, he is always going around the problems in the company, deadlines, meetings and does not remember how to have a little fun in his daily life.
Do you believe that I have become wholly mad or do you share my point of view? Can we have a coffee next Saturday at your home, and go on planning the best strategies to persuade our loved John to improve his future? Send me an email to make an appointment, if you agree with my purpose.
Kisses,
Carmen
