Sifu,
Hello, it has been a long while since last we spoke, and I am writing this post on the grounds of reconnecting. Life is an unwiedly and tricky experience, each and every turn more unexpected and exhilerating than the last. I have a great many things I wish to speak with you about and request your audience. Perhaps it is too late and I have unintentionally burnt my bridge to cinders. If so, it shall remain my deepest regret to know I have allowed fear of the wrong action to give way to inaction. But if not, please contact me and let us continue our relationship. I would be much obliged by a response.
Your faithful student,
Marc Shipley
