Long Social Letter

I am in the process of writing a really long letter to send to my old friend via airmail. Gosh, it seems like YEARS since I wrote a real LETTER and to think that I will be sending it by AIRMAIL. Hahaha that's so yesterday but it's what I used to do. I remember writing 8 - 10 pages each time I reply a letter via airmail and I was thinking that since a letter will take about two weeks to reach its destination, why not make the most out of the time and stamps?

The problem in penning a letter is not so much the content since I always have so many things to share but it is in the actual process of holding a pen and writing letter by letter onto paper with as few mistakes as possible so that I do not have to use "liquid paper" and then write the correct word ON the liquid paper. I always, ALWAYS spoil my letter that way.

Well, I am only onto the second page and there's still so many more things to say, though sometimes when it comes to writing that particular issue down, suddenly the issue is not so "hot" anymore to be shared, if you know what I mean.

In any case, I need to get the letter sent out by next week so there's not much time to write.

This Is NOT The Way To Widen Your Circle of Friends

The other day, I received an e-mail, a mass mailing one with undisclosed recipients (god knows how many addresses this guy blind copied to) with the subject title "friendship" and his message went like this:

Hi

I am in the midst of widening my social circles, and I have discovered your email address in the forwarded mail "cos of our future we hv 2 work hard............".

Below is a brief introduction of myself, hopefully we can be friends.

Before that, would appreciate if you can tell me more about yourself as well. Thanks.

Note:

1) No direct sales, please. The best quality products are available in Tesco, Carrefour and Giant.

2) No insurance, please. With more than 10 life policies and PAs, please leave me alone.

How many people received this e-mail, do let me know. I wonder how he harvested my e-mail address. For one, none of my friends forwarded any e-mail "cos of our future we hv 2 work hard............" to me.

And look at his little NOTE at the end of the letter. The cheek of him! hahaha
