Как сказать:

"I was very upset to read your letter and very very sad to hear she died. I am also very sad and cry a lot."

"I hope my letter cheers you up. I hope that you will be alright. I wish I could come very soon to see you but I am not allowed until 2009, which makes me very upset also. I hope you are alright and I hope you will be okay. I am very sad also."

Can you make this the most informal possible? Not very formal and proper, please.
