We initially correspond through letters. Then through electronic mail, one of the marvels of the 21st century which is all about quick responses and hurried words. Less attention to form and more to substance. I enjoy receiving her messages just as much as I enjoy sending them to her. A different writing style in unfamiliar broken English differenciates her messages from the others in the in-box. I naturally home in on mail bearing her name first, each and every time.

There is a feeling of excitement every time I log on. I in turn carefully craft each message. Perhaps it was her exoticness, her foreigness that inspired me to devote more attention to detail and to explain what I was trying to say to her. Every line that I type on the keyboard made me feel so good it almost meant something.
