Writing exercise

Hi Ben,

Sorry to hear that you are in hospital now! Hope everything will be good!
Heather just told me that you got a traffic accident yesterday afternoon when you walked out from the office, she mentioned that you have hurt your left leg and need to do a small surgery these days. I am so sorry that I cannot come to see you now since I am in business trip, but I really want to check your situation and care about you so much!
Do you remember that we plan to ski in Japan this November? I am afraid that we could make it because your left leg need to take a good relax during next half year and you have my word that once doctor confirm that all the situation is good now then we could plan to ski again, just be patience!
I have bought some fruits and health tonic at the taobao and they will directly delivery to your hospital. I will be back to shanghai next Wednesday, see you soon!

Hope everything will change in a good way.
Love you!
Vian
