Dear Andrew,

          How are you? I am sorry to hear that you are not feeling well. I hope you can come back to school soon. I miss seeing you in class every day.

          You should make sure to drink a lot of water, get plenty of rest, and take medicine. This will help you get better more quickly. You are one of my closest friends. Please look after yourself and get well soon.

Your friend,

Danny
