Dear Dad,

How are you? I hope that you are doing well. I also hope that you are in good health. It has been quite a long time since I last heard from you.

The main reason for writing this letter is to tell you that I will soon leave my brother's house. I just have to let you know this so that you will not be disappointed in me when I pack out of brother Wale's house. I believe that when one has a younger sister, one should be able to protect and trust her. I believe when I explain to you, you will see reasons why I should leave my brother's house.

First of all, my brother does not trust me. He believes that I drink and bring friends to his house and I told him repeatedly that the allegation is not true but he never listens to me. Every effort to explain to him always earns me punishment which in most cases results in flogging. I have endured this not because of anything but because he is my brother and I love him dearly.

Secondly, my education has started to suffer greatly as it seems that my brother no longer has my interest at heart. It is ridiculous that anytime I get set to leave for school, my brother remembers that he needs some. thing from the dry cleaners or the market. This makes me get to school late every school day and almost everyday, I miss the first two lessons. The other day I missed my English Language test just because brother Wale asked me to. tidy up his room and get his clothes from his dry cleaner. When I told him that I had to go to school, he looked me up in the house and left. He didn't return until evening. I got to school when the test was far over. I kept quiet despite the shabby treatment I received from him for the reason I gave earlier on.

Thirdly. I have been embarrassed beyond imagination by the actions of some of my brother's friends and his insensitivity to my plight. When his friends come around in the house, either to spend some time with him or watch a game, they make passes at me and he encourages them, going by his unconcern attitude. I have told him that I don't like such advances but he always laugh it off. saying there is nothing wrong about it, only if I can be a little 'friendly' with them. I kept my fears to myself until, one day. I was almost assaulted by one of his friends.

The last straw that broke the camel's back is that my brother asked me to stop going to school. saying that he could joke no longer afford to pay my school fees. He insisted that I should go and get a husband for myself and start having children. It was like a joke to me when he said this but when he demanded that I leave his house if I insisted on going to school, I knew that he meant what he said. I cried and begged but he didn't listen. Now I am fed up with him and I have made up my mind to leave his house. I am sure that you will now know why I am leaving his house and I hope that you don't mind me coming back home.

I am sure this letter will get you worried but don't worry. I'll get over the problem. We will talk more about the problem when I arrive home. Greet everyone at home. I will see them soon till then, goodbye.

Yours sincerely.

Tina.
