Dear John
I regret to convey my feelings
that our friendship which had been holding good from time immemorial seems to have ended
abruptly.
In fact, in a heat of debate, I
completely forgot that debate is an academic exercise and it does not involve anything
personal which should not culminate in snapping of childhood ties. When your speech cut my
points and you spoke against me, I got offended. It was a blunder on my part to take the
whole thing as an insult and lose my temper, while standing on prestige.
After deep deliberation, I have
come to the conclusion that I should not have made it a prestige issue. As far as your
conduct is concerned, it was spontaneous and above board.
I, therefore, apologies to you
and extend my hand of friendship again hoping that you will not disappoint me.
Looking forward to a positive
reply.
Yours sincerely
