23. Dear Mr. Bao, How are you ? I have a problem and I am writing to ask you for advice. This is secret, so please don’t tell others. I have many friends at school. We get along very well with each other. We often play together and eat together. But one day one of my friends lost one hundred yuan. He thought that I had taken his money,and he told my other friends about this.So they were not as friendly to me as before. Now I am very worried about this. Shall I explain to him or shall I keep quiet ? I really don’t know what to do. I need your advice. Yours sincerely, Li Hua
