Anne my love:

thank you. i appreciate you very much for your forwarded mail.
for the first time when i red the mail, i couldn't get the
situation at all. it was not your voice. apparently forwarded.
then i went down to the bottom line and found your name saying
"I hope you will choose #2."

i stopped to read the mail and took a bath. when i came back,
i red the mail aloud from the top line. my heart was moved deeply.
it was remarkable for me that their daughter-in-low wanted Love.
you know i have a little daughter now lives separated.

i think that it is beyond my dream. it should be a fairy tale.
but simultaneously it is really true. it had happened.

i told you that i've got the Chinese simplified. i realized that
you wrote every letters in that encoding mode. after i installed
Chinese simplified, your letters came to be seen more beautiful
for you wrote them with those font.

so far, your letters seemed a little rude(sorry!) for i displayed them
with "courier" font of Western European encoding. as the character width
is a little larger, then your text lines had spread over the window.
but now it looks well-mannered and much lovely.

i looked you twice. you are beyond my expectation.
i wish you to continue our correspondence as far as we can.
i cannot imagine how the end will come. you are of course free.
you are not bounded at all on this matter.

i'd put down these sentences and was reading out them again. my wife
came in with her three kids (delivering what i ordered to her, wine,
tobacco, etc). we talked about my proposal to make a X'mas party with
children in my room tomorrow. i said "i can cook all of dishes".

it looked like she was not willing to be invited. in the window of the
computer, my composing mail was opened. on the wall two greeting cards
were pinned up. she don't read English text at all but perhaps she at
least gazed at the head line of the mail and found "Anne my love"...
(recently she asserted to me that i would find a wonderful lady near
future. I wondered her tune of the words sounded quite firm.)

i will make something to eat.
bye for now.

Michel
