SAMPLE ANSWER
Dear Alexandra,
I hope you are doing well. We have two local cricket teams here: one from Xavier’s School known as ‘Knight Riders’ and the other from Anand Niketan School known as ‘Bulldozers’. They are the best teams in town and always scale up to finals. Sadly my decision to umpiring left scarred memories and I would advise all not to do this job.
These teams are arch rivals and the spectator supporting them, too. Both these teams try to win the match by any means; be it a fair play or foul play. Most of the times, they engage in foul plays. The spectator supports them by cheering and jeering.
Until now, the hostility was confines to teams while playing but this time the audience crossed over line. I declared a Knight Rider out on a leg-before-wicket appeal. Since Knight Riders were losing the game, the crowd became a rampant and rushed to the field. I was badly roughed up for this decision.
I am sitting on a porch, nursing my wounds, and vowing, “No more umpiring for me!”
Yours in sorrow,
