Hi xenoman-ga,
The letter was written in the ASCII-style pseudo-Vietnamese, without
diacritical marks, making interpretation difficult. Below is what I
believe to be what the author meant to write and a translation.
----ORIGINAL TEXT----

The letter is written by a daughter to her mother. While the pronouns
used are not directly translatable into English, keep in mind that it
is highly reverant.
----TRANSLATION----
Dear Mother,
Matters of love are hard to predict. I was very careful but what will
come will come, our wills can't compare to god's wills.
It's hard when you're in love with someone; I was very uncomfortable
when choosing a prospect: he must be educated, smarter than me, and
able to take care of me...but everyone has their faults, nobody is
really perfect, mom.
Between Scott and me I'll wait for a while longer, to see if [he]'s
the one [I] want to spend the rest of [my] life with. I often feel
really lonely, like there's nobody who understands me or for me to
confide with...I feel very sad, mom, but I will strive to overcome it,
try to be brave and confront reality...Don't worry, mom, everything
will eventually turn out fine, I always believe that "each river has
its curve, every person has his moment" (Note: Vietnamese idiom
similar to "every dog has his day")...nobody will have to suffer his
whole life. Maybe the events that happened to me will give me
experience in life.
I believe that everything that happens in this world has its reason,
even if we don't know what it is...Every Sunday I come to church and
pray...
Loving mother, please don't worry about me but always believe that one
day I will be happy.
Your loving daughter,
Loan
