Subject: Hello Good Friend
Hello ,
I have the feeling that this piece of mail will reach
you in a perfect state of mind and in a better healthy
condition. I came across your contact and decided to
contact you. I believe and also have the feeling that
in todays world, neither race,age,nationality nor
religion will any longer posse a barrier to
male/female relationships.
Although, we do not know each other well but I will
really like to have you as a friend or pen pal if that
is better for you.my name is Mendy Jones,I'm a single
lady of 25years old, currently studing international
relations at the Clarkson University in northern New
York, a citizen of the United States of America
residing in New York with my parents, brothers and
sisters. Presently, I am doing my final year in the
University and so anxious to graduate from the
University into the free world. While I hope to hear
from you soon, I also look forward to recieve some
information concerning you, your family, country and
even your personal life experiences. This will give us
the opportunity of knowing each other better and be
able to understand ourselves more. May God bless you
as I wait to hear from you soon through my id:
mendyjones@yahoo.co.uk
Thanks.
Yours,Mendy.
