Dear Melanie,

Hi, how have you been and how is your family? As for me I am doing great and I have been very happy ever since my moms came to visit me here in Zambia.
Mom Maureen and Mama Sabrina have come for a visit at Chikumbuso and right now they are working very hard in the library. This visit for me is a dream come true because I was always looking forward to this amazing and fantastic visit from my lovely moms. Before I go any further I would like to inform you that last week I got my end of term results and I came out to be in the first position. I did very well last term because I passed all the subjects. I would also like to tell you that Mom Maureen is now my story publisher and she published my first story entitled The Royal Kingdom and it came out so amazing and interesting. I couldn’t believe myself to have written such a wonderful story.

I have come up with another story and very soon I will write it down and I hope when it comes out you will love it. Thank you for the support, love, and care you have offered me and I will be more than grateful if you would come to Zambia and visit Chikumbuso.

Thank you.

Yours,
Patson

Hi Patson! Only a few weeks until Sabrina and I arrive in Lusaka! I can't wait to get there and see you, Natasha, Morgan, Marjory, Anderson, and all the ladies. And I look forward to spending time with you and hearing about your studies and your new story ideas. I'm bringing you some books, both fantasy, and Young Adult, that I think you'll like. See you soon!
