Hi! Dear Friend!

I am writing  you in order to ask you please be reasonable. I know you have been believing about ghosts and sorcery but there have never been scientific proof of those facts. First of all all you have heard are myths, second you have never had such experiences so how are you going to believe in something you haven't seen or heard.

I am really sorry my dear friend but please instead of getting along with gossips try to alway keep your mind in actual facts and not in "cha chara" as latino's people say.

Please let me know if we can meet and have a chat about this nonsense.

Kind regards.
