Type:Type 2: Flat mail
Last day to signup/drop:October 3, 2009
Date items must be sent by:October 19, 2009
Number of swap partners:1
Description:

You will have 1 partner, and will write them a really nice penpal letter introducing yourself to the other person.

You will also discuss 5 things they mentioned in their profile (for example, where they live - if it's a place you've always wanted to visit, or have questions about, their birthday - if you know someone who shares a birthday with them, a favorite show, movie, or book, common interest or liking for the same color or craft, or wish to ask questions about something they're interested in or mention in their profile that you know little or nothing about.)

Handwritten letters are preferred, but you may type it if you think someone will be unable to read your handwriting, or are otherwise unable to handwrite your letter. If you do type your letter, please decorate the page with stickers, doodles, drawings or use decorative paper. There are no page requirements for this swap, but please write a good introductory letter and don't forget to discuss atleast 5 points from your partners profile in addition to your introduction.

Anyone in good standing is welcome to join this swap, newbies are welcome too (with well filled- in profiles)! No no sends (1's) or 3's in the last 6 months for anyone else. (if there's a problem, contact me and we can try to work it out). Everyone must have a well filled in profile (this is important since your partner will use your profile for the guidelines of the letter). I will be checking profiles (and sending private messages to those who I feel need to put more in their profiles) and banning those I feel are sketchy at my discretion.

Please rate your partner once you receive your letter. Rate based on whether or not the swap meets the requirements, and do so as fairly as possible (you'll want to consider that 5 points were addressed in relation to your profile). The point of this swap is to write a letter that someone else will want to respond to (and hopefully you'll have 2 long term penpals as a result) so send a letter that is like one you would like to receive.

this swap is international since a business envelope is usually inexpensive to mail.

please PM me, or comment below with any questions.

Contact me if you don’t receive your package in a reasonable amount of time, I will help to try and resolve the situation and angel if necessary (but hopefully, it will not be an issue)
