Dear mom and dad,
              I have something very important to you. I know both of you will not agree with my decision but i already decided. I'm going to marry to an American guy. He is very kind, sweet and handsome. He makes a lot of money so he can support me. I know you will concern about culture differences between us. Don't worry mom, I already prepared for that. My boyfriend and his family are kind of opened. Now he tries to learn my language to understand me and of course to communicate with you guys. Also, he learns our culture differences from me and he agrees that our culture sounds interested. He doesn't want me to change to his religion but more than that he wants to learn about our religion. My boyfriend and his family is very excited about this marriage and they are looking forward to you, mom and dad. Hopefully, you will understand my decision.
With love, ....
