Inmate Penpal Listing Introduction Letter – Prison Blog

December 29, 2011  ¤  Listed in : Ruben Cardenas - Blog

Here you find me dropping you these few lines to put a smile across your face, and joy in your day. With the hope that as you read this letter, your within the best of health and spirit, and in the tender grace of The Creator.

If you would like to get to know me and establish a line of communication between us, you must first know this; I’m a very open and upfront person and I will want from you a degree of honesty and openness that may make you feel vulnerable or uncomfortable, yet its important that we can express ourselves without fear of judgment or rejection. I want you to keep it real with me and not hold back, because its okay to talk or ask about anything and I will promise to do the same, because I’m not into edited conversations, they only hide what’s real and annihilates trust, and if we have to censor ourselves, then what’s the point of us writing one another. Right?

I’m not into ephemeral acquaintance, nor am I into being fake, You must also understand I don’t have time to play games, time is not a luxury I have to waste, and I need your sincere commitment to be loyal to our communication. You see I want us to truly get to know one another and I want to learn all of your secrets you allow few to ever learn. So, if you’ll like to give me a try write me.
