I I have a confession Well, maybe not a Ten Commandments type of confession; not the kind where you feel repentance. In fact it’s really not a confession at all. It is more of a declaration- a coming out of sorts; something to celebrate and be proud of. In fact, it’s a bold announcement that will shock millions and start debates in the bedrooms of every home!
Well, here goes:
I am a born again friend. Stop laughing, I am serious. As I sit here, I have vivid memories of everyone who tried to befriend me, as well as those I attempted to befriend. But when I look around today, I don’t see any one of them. I would love to blame it all on myself, but I refuse to let history repeat itself. I will own my part….. I never thought I had a true friend and if I did have one, I couldn’t recognize it back them. But it’s all so clear now. I wish like hell I could go back in time and say “Thank You", "I’m Sorry” and “I Appreciate You”…... but you and I know that’s impossible. We can’t rewrite the past but we can most definitely “RIGHT” the present and the future. Can I use you to “right it? You may have even had a friend that you let get away and now you miss them: so let’s use each other and be an example…How about it? You Game?
I look forward to it…TROY

I’m a single man in search of someone special….Someone that is unique in her own right, that knowns how to be herself and not another…a person that knows who they are and what they want….a person that ain’t on B/S and understands the word. “RESPECT”. I am not one that asks for much, but I do ask that you be yourself. By you being yourself will allow me to mold myself to your likes and dislikes, to what makes you smile, to what makes you happy or sad, but more importantly, I can discover who you truly are.
I have a caring heart, for those who use it skillfully. I don’t believe in telling lies to make others do or believe the unbelievable. I don’t have time for mind games when I can be on something that’s real. It’s bad enough that there are so many out there that have the wrong impression of those of us that are incarcerated. All I ask is that you take a chance and find out for yourself that I am not like many others, and if you don’t find me to your liking, then don’t waste another stamp on me, but I am confident enough in myself though to know that I will not be a waste of your time.
If you are interested in a friendly conversation and would like to get to know me further, please feel free to respond and then I can share with you the man that I am.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
J.L.

Dear Blessed One,
It’s not everyday that I pick up a pen and just barge my way into unsuspecting women’s’ lives, but neither have I ever been faced with such a pressing need for female companionship. Please allow me to establish the brute nature of this letter as the essence that lies behind this somewhat strange approach. I’m simply writing, trying to seek that special woman who is willing to share a few moments of her time with someone like myself.
Please allow me to introduce myself properly. My name is Mr. Bernard Bryant but I am known too everyone as “Alimeon.” I am 47 years of age and I turn 48 on May 21st. I am 5’7” and 200 lbs. Very well put together and brown skinned. I am very understanding, considerate, and a very compassionate man with a loving heart. Bless me. I am trying to obtain your friendship first, and whatever happens after that we can deal with then.
I am qualified to build a healthy friendship /relationship. It’s simple, because it’s all about responsibility, trust, ambition, dedication and discipline to he who is willing to share.
Please Blessed, let me not be the focus of all guys you have dealt with in the past. I am but a man who is striving to find a true queen who is willing to establish trust and learn one another’s ways.
I treat my friends with the utmost respect. I am not an ill-tempered man nor do I judge anyone before giving them an equal chance to show me their true qualities as a person. Life is full of mysteries and you never know someone until you try them.
Blessed One, I know you have heard it all before….. So have I…and the lines of broken promises have discouraged our way of thinking, but I am willing to try again, if you are.. Well, I am going to end this heartfelt matter here, but before I do I want to say, “Isha Allah=God Bless you.
Always,
Mr. Bernard Bryant
