Okay kids, I hope you've all done your assigned reading. Here are my thoughts (in parenthesis):

Hi there lovely,

(Ah shucks)

This kind of opportunity comes onesb in a clife.

(You're probably right, wait what? What's a clife? Sounds sharp.)

I don't want to bmiss it. Do you?

(Believe bme, bme bneither, bits bjust bthat bi bhave bthis bheadcold.)

I am coming to byoura place in few days
and I thcough may be we can meet each other.

(Coming to BMYA place??)

If you don't mind I can send you my picture.

(Sorry I do mind. Perfect strangers coming to bmya place is fine of course, personal pictures absolutely not.)

I am a girl.

(Um...really?)

You can correspond with me using my email

-Petra

Despite my request, this young person did send me "Her" picture, which I think explains some things. I am oddly allured. "She" has the smoldering beauty of a mustachioed Scarlet Johanson. I'm not sure if it's the nature of the portrait but I'm not sure if I don't see a beard on young Petra. By the way, this drawing being reminiscent of some of the others we've shown here, I did ask "Her" from whom she received this likeness. I haven't gotten a response.
