I am looking for FEMALES ONLY anywhere in the world, any race, any colour, any shape or size... I am interested in the person only!

The only thing that does matter is that I would love to have friends that can write a decent letter where you write everything and anything that comes to your mind but also take the time out to respond to what I have written too. Its nice getting letters but when the conversation is one sided, you don't answer questions or just answer questions but don't say much about yourself it ends the friendship as your no longer enjoying it. The other thing that ends the friendship is when your writing is so bad that I can not make out the words... so nice and neat handwriting only.

I don't want to attract pen-friend collector and am not one myself so if I feel someone is not the right friend for me then I will let them know that I don't want to write anymore as time is limited already for everyone that its unfair to continue. I'm sure you would do the same for me even if some of you claim to want that life long friend.

Please only get in touch if you genuinuely want to write Chatty Long Letters as it does get quite tiring writing first letters and not to get a single response... it only takes 2 seconds to get back in touch and say you've made a mistake... it would save the world a lot of paper. I have now started sending typed first letters only as they do not take me all that long to send and I can focus on my regular writing friends who do mean the world to me :D, these letters are always handwritten to them and will be to you too once we write. Also if people don't respond to these typed letters I don't feel as bad knowing that I did not spend all my free time writing to them. You can also send a typed first letter if you like but I would appreciate all other letters to be handwritten too as it feels all that much more personal.

I know life gets busy at times but I would love friends that write on a regular basis, I don't expect a letter in the post the minute you get mine but writing a letter once to twice a year is not a friendship as you miss out on so much of each others lives which means you don't really end up knowing that person  at all.

*Females only, Sorry Guys* I am looking for long chatty snail mail pen-friends only from anywhere in the world, including UK and Ireland too so get in touch! I would prefer friends closer to my age please, thanks!

I can speak and write English very well of course but sadly this is the only language I'm good at :(.

My parents originate from Pakistan so I can speak Pothwari fluently which is a mixture of Urdu and Punjabi, I can't speak them well on their own but can understand everything if spoken to in these languages. I have to admit though I find Urdu to be snobby which is why I never wanted to learn it.

I would love to be able to speak, read and write Urdu and Arabic, I haven't got any plans to learn it at the moment since it all depends on time but I'd love to learn both at some point in my life. I have picked up the odd word of Arabic from the children that I work with but one day I'd like to have a complete conversation.

I did French at school but its been over 10 years since I've used it so can only now remember the smallest amount... maybe this is something I'll pick up again but I'll see.

I also know a small amount of British Sign Language (BSL) which I attended college to learn in an evening. I wanted to continue on to the 2nd level but that was only offered during the day and I had to work :( such a shame as it was so fascinating.
