An email for my friend

Dear Henry

I learned that you are feeling sad and upset because of losing the basketball game. I wanted to tell you that it is just a game. I know you have attached a lot of importance to this game so that you would not lose it. But losing the game is not your fault, everyone is to blame. You just need to prepare your mind and get ready for the next game. As for what your other classmates think, you needn't take it to heart. I will help you explain it to them. If you can help us win the game next time, they will respect you. I think we can do it, so you can make up for what happened. Come on, be positive! We believe you. Please continue to try your best.

Best wish,

Max
