"Thank you for your hard work," the letter said, "I'm very late, but I'm trying to compensate now."
"I can't remember how many times I had difficulty in life in the past...It's just a small amount, but I want to compensate for it now. I'm sorry for all this time."
He concluded the letter by saying, "Good work and always be healthy and happy."
