Dear Mahim,
Take my love first. I have received your letter. In your letter, you have wanted to know about the importance of the rivers of our country. Well, let me write to you about it.
Bangladesh is a riverine country. There are many rivers in our country. The Padma, The Meghna, The Jamuna are the main rivers of our country. There are many other rivers also such as the Teesta, the Madhumati, the Arial Khan, and the Karatoa etc. These rivers play a very important role in our agriculture, commerce and trade and general transport. The rivers make our soil alluvial. Some strong rivers are the source of energy. They contribute to the production of electricity. Water vehicles carry people, goods etc. from one place to another. Thus rivers are very important in our lives. But sometimes, they become destructive too.
No more today. Please convey my best regards to your parents.
Yours ever
Sami
