Dear Rohan,
I couldn't believe my ears when your teacher called me yesterday and told me that you had been caught cheating on your board examination. She also told me that you would be barred from taking the examinations if you repeat the offence. The news was so distressing that I couldn't sleep properly last night.
My dear boy, it is a pity that you have resorted to such dishonest practices to score good marks. How could you forget that success attained through unfair means is not success at all? By cheating on a test, you could perhaps pass, but it doesn't give you any knowledge. This lack of knowledge will ultimately lead to inferiority complex. Remember that in the long run only honesty and hard work will pay.
Cheating on a test is a heinous act. You must make a vow that you will not indulge in it again.
