Description

The listing, Pen Pal has ended.

You are bidding on 4 letters sent over a period of a month, pen pal style! Geared for any age, ideally intended for beginner readers who look forward to checking the mail! May also be nice for someone recovering or feeling down.

Upon receipt of Listia verified address I will mail the winner a pen-pal kit:
4 self addressed stamped envelopes
4 notecards
4 fill-in-the-blank form letters
4 blank stationary
seals

I will also include a short questionnaire designed to find out the recipients interests and reading and writing level. Filling out any portion of the questionnaire is entirely optional and will only effect the quality of the correspondence.
Once the form its returned to me, whether it is filled in or blank, I will mail the recipient at the return address on the envelope, one letter a week for 4 Weeks. I am sending envelopes in order to make it easy to respond but participation is not necessary.

Correspondence will be in English but I will do my best to learn any Latin language to my limited ability. (Spanish, French, German)

3 letters will include a note or card and something entertaining, i.e. stickers, a picture, something that can be mailed in an envelope. One will be a post card.

I have a large variety of interests, this can be geared to suit anyone!

Please, feel free to ask questions!

Thanks! Glad I got the feedback. Even though I followed the guidelines, I tweaked the listing so it wouldn't get flagged.
