Hello John, i hope this letter finds you in good health and all is well with your family. The reason why I'm writing to you is because yesterday I came across a very peculiar man. As I entered a drug store I was approached by a man, he was dressed elegantly and wore a top hat with a small monocle on his right eye. He then proceeded to ask me if I was in town to visit the Worlds Columbian Exposition. I answered his question with another question 'Yes, why?' He told me if I was in need of a place to rest while in town to visit his hotel which was fairly close to the fair here in Englewood. He told me his name was Henry Howard Holmes and with a weak smile simply walked away. About a week later I happened to pass by his hotel and decided to check in since I was in town and had nowhere else to go. The hotel was very strange and gloomy. It had three floors and random rooms with oddly shaped angles and no windows.There were even rooms that lead to nowhere and had stairs that lead to doors with no exit and a plain wall where a transition should be.Despite all of these strange things, I decided to rent a room and one of the nights i spent in the hotel, I heard a screech of some kind or a whimper. I payed no mind to it all and fell asleep quickly. I awoke the next day to a woman shouting frantically "Where is my Michelle? She was here and now she's gone." I thought to myself 'this hotel is mad but I like the price and the service I have received so I think I will stay longer.'On my way out of the hotel I came across the man I met the other day at the pharmaceutical store, H.H Holmes, he smiled ever so gently and greeted me with a hearty hello and asked me how I found the hotel. I was in a rush to the post office so I ignored his question gave him a smile and waved as i walked away. My dearest friend John, I find myself loving this city every minute I spend here. It is nothing like our home back in Scotland, here there are buildings the size of mountains and women from all parts of the world. It is truly something else this here country and I hope one day we can visit together with our families united as one.

Hey mister! Did you find your way around the college campus? Sorry I lost you in the wide parking lot and some how ended up here. Good thing we found each other here. Here is the admissions office where we can be guided to our classes. Can I see your schedule, mister? Let me see here. Oh! It looks like we share a class. ENC1101, it's our English class. Would you like to walk together to class? This is my second semester in Miami-Dade College, but my first time in the Homestead Campus. If we walk together I won't wonder off again and get late to class. Well that was a good first day of class, don't you think? We learned several topics in just one day. We've got about eleven more classes to go. Alright should we go back to the parking lot? I'll meet you there, I have to use the bathroom. Okay, lets go hang out by your car. Wow! That was an interesting story from your past. Hold on someone is calling. It's my boss, I'll catch up with you later, mister! -Leonel Martinez

Hi Jen, I wanted to let you know about a cool weight loss tool our wellness department is educating all employees about. It’s called myfitnesspal.com. It’s a website where you can track all of the foods you eat. It basically tracks your calories, carbs, fats, proteins, sodium and sugar associated with the food selections you enter for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snack time. It also allows you to add foods to a favorites list if you are person who routinely eats the same foods on a daily basis. Another cool feature is an exercise link where you can enter exercise routines along with the frequency and times you expect to workout on a daily basis. All of this information is used to offset your original weight and the goal weight you wish to achieve. The best feature is we can friend each other so that we can team up to achieve our weight loss goals. Feel free to share this with other friends or anyone you believe could benefit from the tool. Hope you have an opportunity to use the tool soon and that you’re able to spread the word to your other friends. Let me know how you like the website and I hope you enjoy using it as much as I do. Talk with you soon my friend.

Dear Amanda,
The day I left your store obviously wasn’t an easy one. It took a lot of heart from me to transfer from one store to another. If it hurt you in any way then I am sorry. I had to do it for myself. You were not promoting me, talking with me, or lecturing me in any way to get me thinking into the future for this company. When I asked you if I can transfer, all you stated was “okay sure it’s fine with me.” So, I did it while you were on vacation. Once you came back and saw me working in the other store, you seemed so shocked. I can’t understand why though. You clearly said it was fine, and then when you saw me, asked me why I was at that store. I felt dismayed with your question. It’s like you didn’t want me to leave at all. Anyways, as you may well know, I have gotten my promotion. Yes, without you. Leaving your store was the best thing I could of done, and look where I am now. I am a better person and worker in my opinion. I have gotten way more raises than I did when I was under your supervision. Although you did try to hold me from getting promoted, I do thank you for teaching me some things. It wasn’t much, but it was better than nothing. I appreciate it.

My Dear Mardia,

It seems like we met just a few days ago, we have gone through so much and many things together; ups and downs, happy moments and sad ones, fights and more. I have to say that I've enjoyed each and every one of those moments just because they have occurred with you by my side. I know that I have blundered at times, hurt you at some, and not paid attention to little things that you consider important – You know that at no point have I done this to hurt you although I know it does at times – I have no excuse for this and all I can do is to say that I am and will always be trying to make it better. Even though it is the right thing to say in this moments, I am not going to say that I’m sorry because I know you don’t like that, you rather that people take a look at what they did wrong, try to correct it and move on. Regardless of the circumstances in which I am writing this note, it is still truthful and with the intention to deliver one simple message, “I love you and I am grateful and fortunate to have you as my wife”.

Have you ever wondered why women always tend to end up with A**holes who patronize them and treat them like crap? Like what's us with that? Well for the most part women who date men with issues usually have issues themselves. Your probably thinking that's crazy but really it isn't. It actually makes sense and a lot of it. Think about it she must have some deep rooted issues that she can't see past the childish and obnoxious behavior.

But let’s give a little credit to the women who actually stay in relationships with these guys. Most of them don't see it until later in the relationship and stay out of comfort and habit. Then there are those that know that some men have issues and try to help them. And somehow think that they will be enough to make this guy change when in reality they shouldn't even try to help. The guy with the issues should be able to help himself.

So the point here would be:

Women: Let’s deal with our “issues” before we start dating that way we don’t end up with an a**hole and deal with his crap because we can’t see past it.

Men : If you meet women who date these kind of guys run! Run far away because your ‘re not going to change them. They have to help themselves.

Don’t settle for less than you deserve and help yourself before you helping someone else.

Dear Johnny Boy
The very first moment we met, we instantly clicked and fell in love! I guess you can call it Love At First Sight. But right then and there I knew you ment something to me and in the back of my mind I always felt like you would one day become my husband. The walks at the little pond while the sun was falling; it made me feel for you more and more. The little pop kisses that made my stomach tingle .The arguments and fights that "supposedly" pulled us closer. Who would've ever known that I would have had a baby boy from you 3 years later? It all went too quick! And once that baby came reality hit! We were no longer in puppy love, we were parents! I knew deep down in my heart that going against my religion and not marring you before all of this was bad, but I did it anyways. I just had the gut feeling that you were going to be my husband. Anyways, after the baby came, we grew further and further apart! We would argue and get angry at each other. Until this day I still don't agree with the the things you do and the actions you choose. But hay, it's your life and I don't control it! But what I do control is that little boy of ours who's one day going to grow up and become a man, and I think that your doing a "good" job but you can be doing better, and it starts by getting your self together! -p.s Samaria Miller

Hey Mom how about riding with me to the mall to pick up a baby shower gift for a friend. The baby shower is this weekend and this is the only time I have to get a gift because I have been so busy. Having a bay is such a joyous occasion. Just the thought of holding the baby just makes me smile. I remember when I was told that there were some obstacles that my husbandand I had to overcome before having a baby. I must say I was a little discouraged but I thought to myself that if its meant to be it will surely happen. Wait, mom look they have a Build a bear. In here we can build a personalized bear that im sure the baby would love. This bear will be the most beautiful baby bear ever made with love that the baby can use to cuddle with. Since she having a girl we should dress the baby bear in a tutu with matching bows, sock and shoes. This dress right here looks very cute mother, don’t you think? One day I will be able to walk in this same store with my daughter and build a bear with her. I just can’t wait! Ok enough with the baby talk because I’m about to get emotional. Alright mom I’m ready, lets pay and get this bear put in a keepsake box for the baby. Mom, here keep the bear at your house because its your to give to my baby girl when she arrives. Mom, you are going to be a GRANDMOTHER. Im 4 months Pregnant!!!!!!!

Dear You,
Yes am talking to you, you who believes life is unfair. Let me tell you a little story of a kid named Samuel. Samuel lived in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil. His parents were murdered when he was nine years old. He lived in the streets ever since. His hands resembled those of an older person because of all the labor work he had done. As a child he never had toys, never really had shoes, didn’t know what an iPod looked like or what a bed felt like. Life he thought, had given him all he needed. He had Hands to work with, legs to walk, eyes to see, mouth to talk and ears to hear. So think about it, look around you, is life really unfair? As Samuel said, “Life is more then possessing things; life is loving yourself, accepting yourself for who you are and being grateful for what you have. You shouldn’t give value to those things that others try to sell you as the path to happiness.” I came to realize that it is not life that is unfair to you, but your ego and ambition of wanting more and not possessing it, is what makes you believe that life is unfair.

Dear Young Traveler,

Be wary of your travels for they may not always be as planned. The path to enrichment is not one that can be easily walked, nor can it be easily bought. You will see that this path has many hardships that will tear you down or build you up. It is only in these grand times will you start to unravel the true nature of your being and diminish the ego that many hold so dear. You will begin a journey of epic proportions through the mind and soul. Overtime however, if not controlled, you will begin to lose your path and plunge down a deep abyss of emptiness where the creatures of the darkness lurk. Once you have fallen, it will become that much harder to crawl back out and in that time you may become so corrupt that you probably will never want to come back out. I urge you to watch for these signs on your journey, because once you know the outcome of the “trick” paths you will be able to understand which path is right. I wish you only luck and prosperity on your journey. Don’t let outside influences control which path you take but instead look within yourself for the right answer. Godspeed and Farewell.
-Elder Traveler

I know you are far off, probably in a better place then this. I envy the fact you can escape from all of it. You can sleep under the stars with your head laying on the willows roots. You can watch the stars with out city lights,just the moon.How I would love to be where you are. To wake and smell the breeze of the ocean on your little wooden boat, and eat home laid eggs in the morning. Tell me more about the people there, your eyes shine when you do. How about him does he still sing at your window, with his acoustic guitar? Do you still hear his soul sing when he doesn't do so? How much more can I ask you when this you is me? This far off place lives in my mind, may I go again or is it gone? Pessimism ambushes me, reality is their dictator. She spumes out the command to destroy this place inside me. Is this why I run away from the overflowing love towards these things uncommon? My interesting place is deemed invalid. Fictional cinema illusion in the mind. Don't mix your reality with mines. That's the effect of isolation, the truth and reasoning are not too much alike. That's why I'll keep this interesting place alive.

From fSantana.
Hi class,I want to share with all of you, something that I like most. Always everybody soon or later likes to go back to their country. One of the place that I like to go over and over again is to my country. I enjoy a lot going to my country over and over, because is a wonderful opportunity to spent time with my family there. As soon as I arrive there I can eat all of the food that I like. Also is another opportunity to take time to rest.
One of the reason for that I like to go to my country is because most of my family still leaving in Dominican Republic, the place that I born. I miss all of my family and I like to visit them to spend quality time with all of them over and over again. Another thing that I enjoy to go there is the food of my country. In my experience leaving out of my country and need to cook for my family every day, I think nothing is compare with the ingredients that we use there to cook. Here we can find similar ingredients , but the food taste and smell different this is because of the combination of natural ingredients and the way that we cook the food there. when we sit on the table with all of the family together and the table full of different types of foods is the best time I spend there. Additionally, when I travel to my country, I take the opportunity also to rest as much as possible. I spend time to go to a little town where the life is slowly and the environment is calm compare to the big cities. I enjoy the big beautiful mountains that I can see touching in the sky, and the river when I spent part of my childhood, playing with all of my friends, I can remember the clear water, the rocks and the sound I would go over and over again. my country is my favorite place because of the delectable, delicious ethnic cuisine, the time I get to spend with my family and the serene atmosphere where I can relax.

Hey Jypsy, I was wondering have you recently seen the new. There was a shooting yesterday night at JoJo's convenient store. I remember as kid we run in and out that little store. Now folks cannot walk up and down the street without a problem. The young men out here have no control or morals. Their running around as if they were animals. Jo has never had a problem like this before. He's been in business over thirty year. Now he has to start over. Everything was destroyed. The glass windows were shattered. All this just so these young gangster can show out. Without JoJo’s this town will never be the same. We have so many memories in that place. Jo gave me my first job. He tried to help out the community as much as possible. He is the most honest man I've ever known. I will never understand why someone would do harm to him and his family. Jacob from chemistry class was picked up this morning. Folks are saying he had something to do with the shooting. Hopefully it isn't true, he is a bright guy. None seen this coming. I’m still in shock and so is everyone else. Well I just thought id let you know what has happened. Hope to hear from you soon.
