Task IV
Hello, my Dear friend Theseus!
Thank you a lot for your last letter! I’m sorry that I haven’t written you before, I got so many work to do.
First of all, please, accept my condolences about your father death. I’m really sorry about him. He was a real King.
I was very impressed of your journey to Crete. I was happy to know that you succeeded – won in the struggle with the Minotaur, got freedom to your friends. I wish I had been there. At the same time I was very surprised, that you had left Ariadne on Naxos. I believed she loved you with all her heart, that was why she had saved you life, had betrayed her father. I strongly believe that the truly man always holds his word and you had promised to marry her.
So, think about it and I hope you will take the wright decision.
Write me as soon as possible.
Sincerely yours,
Nikita
