Editor, The Times:
I was wondering if you could help me. I'm tired of Facebook and sick of getting just bills and advertisements through my door and would really like a pen-pal or pen-pals. I know it sounds old fashioned in this age of technology but I like writing and receiving proper letters. So please could you put a little note in your paper?
My name is Jean. I'm female and 34 years old. I'm married and have a baby son who is five months old. I work full time. I enjoy reading (mostly Terry Pratchett), cooking, walking, socializing, music, history, movies, theatre and doing Mum stuff. I'd like to write to anyone (female or male) my age and over. All I ask is no time wasters please.
