A Letter to Saleh

It has been so long since I last wrote to you, my cousin. You would not believe the number of things that I
have to share with you. There has been an inordinate amount of change in the city, because of the religion called
Islam. There has also been a great amount of community in the city, as the new converts have been accepted
cordially by those who have followed the religion for a long time. Just some time ago, I recently converted to Islam
and it changed my life. I’ve made many friends and many contacts, so I never need or want for anything. I even got
married to my lovely wife, Nadia. With all these new developments, I can tell you this, my cousin. I never felt more at
peace than at this present moment. Who knows, maybe you’ll join us as well?

From,

Khalid
