Adam, 66 ✓ Verified

I know that you've probably come across this small advert by accident but, if you have a moment to spare and are not put off by reading English from the ancients...

I am looking for male or female penfriends from around the world of any age who are interested in writing real (postal) letters in English (or writing in German and receiving the replies in English). I have a broad range of interests, from reading and writing, through history, philosophy, culture to collecting and travelling (see [contact hidden] private-intellectual.de). I am married with two daughters and live in a small town in northern Germany, although I was born and raised in London.

If you are aged between 0 and 105 and feel like putting your thoughts down on paper, sharing them with me and sharing my thoughts on all manner of topics, or simply improving your English, then please write to me direct at: Pi., Postfach 1107, D-27314 Hoya, Germany.

It could be the best thing you've ever done, as far as writing letters goes, that is!
