Write a letter to your friend describing how you saved a child who was in danger

Dear friend.

I am writing this letter to tell you about a surprising situation that happened to me this week. After leaving work, I decided to meet some childhood friends to talk a little. I ended up leaving this meeting very late at night, but I thought this was an advantage for me, since it would be easier to drive on the empty streets. With that thought in mind, I got in the car and started driving to my home.

The street was really empty, when suddenly, a child ran by and was almost hit by my car. At that moment I was extremely scared, but I managed to brake in time, stopping the car within centimeters of the child who was just as scared as I was.

I got out of the car, still shaking, to see if the child was okay, when I saw her mother running towards us. The mother apologized to me for what happened and thanked me for saving the child from danger.

Despite the fright, I was happy that nobody got hurt and after a few minutes, I went on my way home, with a sense of relief.

Sincerely

T.M.
