Dear Ravi,
I am shocked to know that you were involved in a road accident last week. It is really unfortunate that you had your left leg fractured. I felt relief that you are being treated well at a famous hospital with all conveniences.
I hope you will recover fully in a short time. Do not worry about your examinations. I already informed your matter to our principal. Next Sunday I will come to Hyderabad to see you in the hospital. I sincerely pray for your speedy recovery.

Yours loving friend Mahendar.
