Dear David
The hacker has been traced. He is even younger than your son. He was sweating out of fear. He hung his head. With a trembling voice, he confessed his guilt. When I asked him why he wanted to kill me, he assured to me that he never intended to so. He had hacked my account, for sheer fun. He told me that he had never thought that his prank
would harm someone that much. He begged for pardon which I granted. After all he is just a young boy and should be given a chance to improve his ways.
With love
Your Mom
