Here is the letter and a short briefing on what led to it.
We have been corresponding for about 3 weeks and in that time exchanged 11 letters.
To me this has from the start been a healthy and normal conversation.
She took the initiative of contacting me through private email and sent me many ordinary photos of herself.
She has been fun to talk with, sincere and in my opinion totally honest. I have not found one thing I consider suspicious about her.
To me she is a sweet and kind lady who is truly looking for a lifetime partner.
----------------------------------
Last Thursday (April 14) I sent her a letter as usual, which was in direct context of our conversation up till then.
On Friday (April 15) morning I got this letter from her:
"Hello my dear (my name),
I'm very sorry for my late reply.
(This sounded awkward since her reply was not late at all. I had writen to her the day before)Because my grandfather has died in this early morning..I must go back home and visit him.
(She lives in Wuhan but is originally from Zhuhai, Guangdong)Now I feel very sad to hear about grandfather's news.
I haven't seen him for years.
I wish I could be have more time and visit him sooner.
However, as my mom visited him in hospital..she said he was still fine.
Then she came back again.
I think everything was going well with him.
I didn't worry about it so much.
I couldn't believe he suddely passed away.
I was thinking of him so much.
When I was a kid, my parents put me at his home for several years.
My granddad is the kindest man for me.
If I want to eat something, as long as he could get for me, he must do it for me.
In a very thunderstorm night, there was a strong wind outside.
I want to eat cookies..he took a little umbrella and buy for me.
When he was old, I couldn't visit him every year. I feel really guilty.
Well, my dear (my name),
I think when I come back, we can talk more again,
Please always take care,
Your sincerely (her name)"
--------------------------
I was at my computer when the above letter arrived and I immediately replied:
"Dear (her name).
I am very sorry to hear about your Grandfather.
Take your time attending to this matter. I will be here when you come back.
Yours,
(My name)
------------------
And now to the strange letter I received today, a week later:
"My only dear (my name),
Ni hao ma (my name), I still want to write to you here .
It has been a long time since the last time we wrote here .
Are you still in Chnlove ?
I send you some a letter here and you never answer my questions here , so I am wondering if you are still here
There are so many people here trying to play games and I don't know which one is honest .
You are the only man whom I wrote so many letters with .
I trust you that you are serious
I only hope that we can still talk here as happily as we were before , is that possible ?
If you get this letter here, please send me a letter and tell me you are fine , ok ?
Nice day .
With my love and kiss.
(her name)"
--------------------------------
Don't you find this peculiar? I want to repeat that all our conversations before were as normal and healthy as they could be in my opinion.
Now she talks about a letter (or letters) she has sent me but haven't gotten a reply to. There is no such letter(s). I have always replied back.
She seems to have totally forgotten about her last letter to me and her Grandfather's death.
This is so surreal to me that I don't know what to make of it.
Can anyone take a guess on what is going on?
