Dear Murtaza:

I like the idea of you and I changing the world as a team! I recorded your gmail address. I wish you didn’t feel guilty following my input about smoking. I will not repeat it.. just that I want you to be as okay as you possibly can be.

I am sorry that your friend from Bangladesh committed suicide (how did he do it?). “Do you really think I will live this long?”, you asked regarding the smoking topic-

– I didn’t suggest dying from smoking because I knew you would reply with something like: good, problems solved! That’s why I mentioned the inconvenience/ difficult-life consequence.

I am about to go on a walk which is crazy because it is too hot for a walk.. yet a habit is a habit (so is smoking). Do continue to take breaks from our communication whenever you are tired or when you otherwise don’t feel like it. Whenever you post is fine.
