Dear Madison,

I am so grateful that I finally found someone I can write to on a regular basis! Thank you for agreeing to be my pen pal, I appreciate it very much. I know that we both already have an idea about each other, but I’d like to tell you a bit more about myself.

I really enjoy reading books and try to read at least two a week. Sometimes it is hard to keep up with this schedule, especially while going to university and working at the coffee shop, but I try my best. I also really like movies and will sometimes watch a movie from a book after I have read the book just to see if they’re different and to see which I like more. Usually the book is better.

Please write and tell me more about yourself, I’d love to hear.

Talk with you soon!
Jasmine
