Greetings,
let me say that it is my utmost and sincere hopes that this letter will find you in the highest degree of goodness and health and enjoying life to the fullest. I want to also say that writing this letter is a new experience for me and because it is new, it is also exciting. The anticipation of reaching out and touching someone unknown and yet with the ideas of sharing and exchanging ideas, thoughts, dreams and experiences with someone opening up and developing trust, and faith on that someone and exploring the essence of true friendship on a much more meaningful level. Yes this has been one of my deepest longings and most sincere desires. But until you respond to this letter and I get to know you as a person and not just a name on a sheet of paper you are sore of swallowed up in a sea of abbreviations and stats.
In fact I’m not sure as to whether I should seal this letter in an envelop or in a bottle and toss it out to see so like a message from a castaway… It would come washing upon your door step.
By me placing my name in your ad I have indicated I’m an interest and concern for meeting new friends. I do hope and trust that your pen pal interests will not only create an opening for an enjoyable relationship, BUT also faster deeper ties in the years ahead. Since ad’s do not several much about the personal details of a person this letter will be mostly about me. But please do feel free to take equal opportunity and space in your letter to tell me about yourself, and if possible send me a picture of yourself. To briefly portray myself to your. I’m a Libra (10-09-60) with hazel eyes depending upon the mood and or emotional circumstances at the time. I’m 5’9 with 195 lbs of pure joy and excitement. I enjoy taking walks along the beach, dining out at nice restaurants, travelling, outdoor sports, dancing, listening to a variety of music, watching T.V. & movies, playing most table and video games. Making personal cards and stationary as a hobby, love nature and animals and kids and love good home cooked food and life in general.
I’m kind, thoughtful, sincere, patient, considerate, mature, open minded, dependable, trustworthy, passionate, romantic, caring, loving, tender, energetic, faithful, honest, a good listener, understandings and enjoy spending quit evening at home sitting be the fireplace. Listening to some soft, romantic music while sipping on some chilled wine and entertaining someone special and /or friends.

I patiently await your letter and the start of what I hope to be a nice beautiful friendship.

With all my respect,
sincerely

Gabriel Castanda
