Dear Teachers,

1. I'm a very clear person. I'll never let my personal issues affect my work.

2. All you should do now is forget about me. From the past up till now I never thought that I belonged to you, is that clear?

- Are these natural to say?

Thanks a lot to Teachers,

Stevenukd

1. They are both natural by themselves, Steven. I don't understand how the two sentences are connected, though. If you intend a connection between them, you might want to think of a different adjective to replace "clear."

2. I'd suggest deleting "From the past up till now" because "I never" conveys that thought. Then it's natural!
