Subject: Sympathies on Your Illness

Dear Jacob,

I just heard that you are ill and I am quite worried about your situation. I am very anxious to know if you feel a little better now.

Our company has been busy in making preparation for the trade fair. As the project leader, you must have been working too hard some time ago. Though work is important, health is always the first priority of everything. Don't worry too much about your work. Please do rest up and take good care of yourself.

I will visit you in the hospital this Saturday morning. I am also sure that you will make a rapid recovery soon. All of us hope you can come back as soon as possible. With best regards.

Yours sincerely,

Noah

主旨：病情慰問

親愛的雅各布：

我剛聽說你生病了，非常擔心你的現狀。我很想知道，你現在是否感覺好些了。

我們公司一直在忙著為展覽會做準備。作為項目負責人，你一定是前段時間工作太賣命了。工作固然重要，然而身體健康是第一位的。不要過于擔心工作的事情。一定要好好養病。

我這周六會去醫院探望你。我也相信你很快就能康復。我們大家都希望你早日回來。致以最好的問候。

真誠的

諾亞
