Dear Kunle,
How are you doing in far-away Canada? I hope your studies are going well and that the cold weather is treating you kindly. We are all in good health here and think of you often.
I am writing with exciting news about a change that has swept through our whole community. The government has introduced affordable mobile internet services, and the effect on the lives of ordinary people has been remarkable. Almost overnight, the smartphone has become a tool of daily survival rather than a mere luxury.
Let me tell you how it has changed things. Traders in our market now receive payments through their phones and no longer carry bundles of cash that once made them targets for robbers. Mama's provision shop has doubled its sales because customers place their orders online. Even the farmers in the village check crop prices and weather reports before they take their produce to town, so they are no longer cheated by middlemen.
The change has touched education too. My classmates and I now attend free online lessons and download past questions on our phones, which has greatly improved our results. Uncle Femi, who was ill last month, consulted a doctor by video call without the tiring journey to the city hospital. Best of all, families like ours can now see and speak to loved ones abroad at no cost, which means, dear brother, that we shall be talking face to face very soon.
In truth, this single innovation has made life easier, business brisker and our people better informed. I cannot wait to show you everything when you return.
Do take good care of yourself. Everyone at home sends their love.
Your loving brother,
Tayo
