A letter for help

Dear Aunt Aggie,
I'm having a problem with my classmate, Rena, at school. The other day I wrote an e-mail to another classmate, Beth. In the e-mail I said something about Rena that perhaps wasn't very nice. Unluckily, when Beth was writing back to me, she accidentally forwarded（无意间转发） the message to Rena! Now Rena is really angry with me and doesn't talk to me, and Beth is unhappy as well. She's said sorry to me a hundred times already, but the harm has been done. I feel bad, because I never would have said those things to Rena's face, but how do I get her to forgive me? What should I do?

Dear Joe,
This problem is more common than you might think! E-mail is very useful, but also very dangerous, as you don't know where your message might end up!
First of all, you should say sorry right away to Rena. Explain that it was a mistake, and that you didn't mean to hurt her feelings. It may take time for her to be able to forgive you, but that's up to her. Then you might want to do something nice for her. Perhaps you can send her some flowers to show that you're truly sorry. Also, you should remember that old saying, “If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all.” And good luck!
