Responding to a letter

Today for writing, we watched a video then responding to it. The video was about a Tongan who was part German in the army forces. He requested to join the British and NZ army forces but they interned him because he was part German meaning he had to fight for Germany. He was trying to prove that he was Tongan but they rejected him again. Finally he sent the government of NZ a letter to go back to Tonga. We had the task to act as the government and respond. Here is mine response. Hope you enjoy and please leave a comment.

Dear Gustav,

I am very sorry you were interned as well as your uncle and that your beloved father died when you were very young. I understand that to be part german but born in tonga and raised by a tongan mother then joining the New Zealand army forces but then interned is really though when a person is partly from the enemy's culture. Very sorry the commanders did not understand. I trust you now because you have proven your rights to be part of the NZ army forces as well as the british. I grant you your freedom to go back to Tonga. Happy sailing.

From Aaron, Amazing government of NZ
