To Mark, From John

     I greatly urge you not to send another letter to Sarah. Mark, I understand what you're saying here, but you must understand that there is something going on outside of how you feel. Of course there is always a possibility for things to turn your way, but these thoughts should be set aside and forgotten. If you are meant to be with Sarah, then it shall happen. Do not make it that you are the reason she leaves her husband. Even exercising that thought is a sign that you are thinking of strategies that are not healthy for you or for her. With that, for the sake of you and her, I advise just leaving her be. If you were just sending you letters to see how she's doing, then this would be okay, but you are doing something more than that. Maybe revisit your relationship with her in the future but clearly you are not in the state to send letters like that.

    And I know you, Mark. Do not disregard this letter and do what you want to do. You have sent people into a spiral following you in the past, and as we all know, that has only led to disaster. What I would do instead, is maybe write the letter to get all of the things you want to say to Sarah out onto paper, and then discard the letter. DO NOT SEND IT. In fact, I would write it and then burn it. If you want me to, you can send it to me and I'll burn it for you. If you really have the urge to send this letter to Sarah, just send it to me if that helps. 

    Please listen to me and let this all go.

    Best,

    John
