Just read an article about how Japanese victims, and felt like writing a letter to them. So I wrote one to David, an American working in Tokyo.

Dear David,
How are you? This is Charles from Singapore writing a letter to you. From what you posted in the article, I can see that how fearful it is to think of the earthquake in Japan and actually experiencing it. To be frank, I sympathize for you, much as the others who suffered from the wrath of Mother Nature, attempting to rip Japan apart.
You might have known how much damage did this earthquake deal to Japan. And I know it is not really good to wander hopelessly after the quake, searching for possible hopes but not finding any. But in fact, you were being very lucky indeed compared to other victims who are nearer to the epicenter, and so I believe there is still hope for you and the others to find a way out of this chaotic disaster.
With the town destructed by the cruel force, people running crazily around, the sky looking apocalyptic and helicopters and police sirens going off randomly, even I will be uneasy about the environment and the atmosphere and feeling hopeless. However, bear in mind that there is always hope. You will soon find out that Tokyo will recover its busy metropolis of the past quicker than you imagine!
Actually I admire you for being grateful towards yourself for surviving the disaster comparing the others who are more unlucky than you. You also cared about the others by asking, in heart, how are your colleagues, how are the other victims. It also shows thatyou are not the one caring for only his own self, but also the others.
If you have trouble living in your current place, you could try to evacuate to safer areas. And do not worry about Japan’s economies because the world is working very hard collecting funds to save Japan. Have faith in your heart. I’m sure you will find hope of surviving and living.
Regards,
Charles
