dear mister yeom,

my apologies, this is quite embarrassing. jinny never told me she sold over her land to another person to begin with. or else I would've known... however, I also have no way of getting in contact with her which is such a shame. it's really kind of you to be sending your sincere apologies, and heartfelt condolences to her no less. wherever she may be, I surely hope that she can find some form of closure and happiness. may I ask, however, did miss jinny not tell you where she might be heading? her location by any chance? because, I am a bit confused and lost, as to where she may be located after all. i am sorry to burden you with this letter in return and ask you all these questions, but once again, thank you for sending it back and at least giving a reply. that's truly kind of you.

to whom it may concern,

it seems that this letter has been sent to the incorrect address. my sincerest condolences go out to the subject within your original letter. if I do recall correctly, the previous owner of the land I now own was named jinny, however I do not have a way to get in touch with miss jinny. I have sent the original letter back along with this one in hopes you can send it to the correct recipient. please send my prayers to the original recipient.
