Hello,

I hope this letter finds you well. I have a request for you and I am almost certain you will rule in my favor, it is my need to ask. I also hope you are willing to read the letter in its entirety.
I long to find you this very minute, to have one friend who looks into my very soul. So how are you? I can't remember when the last time was that I received a good letter. Be that as it may, I will remember how good a word yours will bring, and how it will cheer me on in these remaining months I have left, onward.
My request is that I can nestle my full soul close to that of another in full empathy. Although we've never met, and you don't know me, and this letter does not give you an accurate account of my background. The only personal reference I can recommend would be my mom, who knows me best or by writing to me and I go on and on about my many wonderful attributes.
But when I write, I want you to feel what you're reading, always, in every moment. I want you to feel my fears, my dreams, my determination, my hunger for life. I hope as you read my words, dear friend, you have felt me, the bridge that connects the wishes in my heart to the heart of my beloved.
Write to me!
