Dear Casey,
In the past 5 months, my life has gone from horrible to amazing. I hardly had any friends, my mother deserted me, and I was feeling more down & out than ever. But, all that changed because of Rich. I had known who Rich was for quite awhile (like 4 years), but he never spoke to me until this past June. And the first thing he told me was: he had a major crush on me ever since he first saw me, and when I heard that, I thought I was going to faint. Casey I gave Rich a chance, and we have been inseparable ever since. On September 1, Rich asked me to marry him. Ever since that day, I've been thanking my lucky stars that Rich came into my life. I love him more everyday, so could you please play "I Love You Always Forever". I owe him so much for changing my life, and Rich if you're listening: I can't wait to start our life together. Thank you Casey.
Your friend,
Jackie
