Dear Tom,
 
Earlier today, I felt very sad to hear about a heartbreaking catastrophe that your country was struck by a terrible earthquake. And I was shocked by the photos from the news that lots of buildings and houses were extremely damaged by it. But it was such a big relief that many of the earthquake victims had been transported to local emergency shelters, and a more devastating tsunami that usually followed immediately by the earthquake did not happen. 
 
Most importantly, I hope that your current life situation is not very bad. As you may know, Taiwan is a country that has been suffering a lot from earthquakes in history. Here I want to share with you some life-saving skills that you can apply whenever an earthquake occurs. And these skills helped me avoid being killed or injured during the 921 earthquake when I was a little boy. First of all, you need to shut off the gas. Then, do not forget to open the windows and doors in case you are unable to open them when any damages caused. All in all, I much look forward to hearing from you soon!
 
John
