    Dear Aunt Aggie,
        I'm having a problem with my classmate, Rena, at school. The other day I sent an e-mail to another
    classmate, Beth, in which I said some things about Rena that perhaps weren'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 won't talk to me, and Beth is unhappy as well. She's said sorry
    to me a hundred times already, but the harm is done. I feel bad, because I never would have said those
    things to Rena's face, but how can I get her to forgive (谅解) me? What should I do? 
                                                                                                                                              Joe

    Date: 02/06/2010     10:45 am
    Dear Joe,
        This problem is more common than you might think! The 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 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."
    Good luck!
                                                                                                                                           Aggie
