Love the detail that she uses her full name in the last letter and calls him “Mr. Garcia” instead of his first name. I think the voice is a bit too sophisticated to convincingly be a younger person’s writing, but maybe I just feel that way because people are less articulate in general these days. Thank you for sharing.

>I thought a long time about you Manoel, before writing this letter. And I have this strong feeling we could get along together. Do you like dogs? I have an airdale named Thomas and he is a one man dog. I feel like I have known you a very long time and we could discuss all sorts of things together.
