Dear Mr Yatsuhito Tamada,
I'm a concerned member of the public in Singapore, and I'm deeply saddened by the massive destruction dealt to Japan. Tremors are prevalent in Japan, but an astonishing 8.9 magnitude earthquake and a horrifying tsunami which struck Japan on 11 March stunned the entire world. The massive destruction was indescribable, and the seemingly imminent meltdown of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant would only worsen the situation. The scene where waves, choked with cars, whole burning houses and debris, proceeded to consume everything in its path sent shivers down my spine. I have also received news about the loss of your children, and I hope to offer my deepest condolences through this letter, as well as to provide you with new-found strength to pull through the ordeal.
Even though I've never experienced such natural disasters or the loss of loved ones, I'd like to stress that you get over this heartbreaking experience and live your life normally as soon as possible. I know it's hard to accomplish that feat, especially when you're grieving. I can imagine your anguish and despair as well, but what will happen if you were to drown yourself into it perpetually? Is that going to help the situation? No! Your children wouldn't want to see your tear-stricken self! Relish the wonderful prospects in life, so that you will know how much life is worth. So, be strong, and you'll be able to overcome future obstacles.
Remember, you're not alone. The whole world is behind you and your nation. Stay strong so that you can help your fellow countrymen as well. Let time heal your wounds, and may your nation rise again.
All the best.
Best wishes,
Your constant pillar of support
