Dear Mohit,
It is a matter of shame and regret that our friendship since our childhood seems to have snapped so suddenly and over such a trivial matter.
A debate is an academic exercise. There is nothing personal in it. In the debate when you spoke against me and cut my points one by one, you did something correct and you deserve three cheers for it. But, I am sorry, I took it as an insult and lost my temper, while standing on prestige.
After cool contemplation, I have come to the conclusion that I should not have made it a prestige point. Your conduct was spontaneous and above board.
I beg to be excused and hereby extend my hand of friendship again, same old but more-sincere friendship.
I am sure you will not disappoint me.
I wait eagerly for a positive reply.
Yours sincerely,
XYZ.
