Hi
I am Sally Silver 19 years old from Freetown and i live in Senegal Africa,i decided having you as a friend,knowing fully well that it is an act of
expressing or sharing view with one another or people around the world,which has to do with honesty above all faithfulness.I feel that before we can have a good relationship we must put in energy and time. Friendship is one of the most important building blocks of a good relationship. To me friends are like flowers in the garden of life. My desire is to meet a sensitive, warm and God fearing man who wants a friend.
Yours Sincerely
Sally silver.
