Hi, thanks for taking the interest and time to read my personal ad.  My hope is to establish genuine friendships, maybe even meet someone very special.  I'm a pretty positive guy, I try not to allow my circumstances dictate my outlook and attitude.  Circumstances can and do change.  I make the choice to be content, and have peace of mind.  I came from a small, and down to earth family.  I've been in prison ever 25 years, and the last of my family passed a few years ago.

Establishing genuine relationships with the outside world is important to me.  Don't assume I wouldn't respond to you.  I value relationships very much.  I genuinely cared about others feelings.  I take nothing for granted.  Most important to me is genuineness, just a brief letter from you.  You might as well write to a guy who will appreciate your correspondence, and you.  Besides, I wrote you first, you just read my ad, so don't you owe me a letter?  I absolutely promise to respond to your letter.
