An open letter to you, the reader.

Dear Reader:

It is with great humility that I thank you for honoring me with this small portion of your time.  I have no doubt you are a busy person with a diverse and ever-expanding portfolio of items which require your immediate and undivided attention.  In the meantime, I would like to take this opportunity to welcome you to the inaugural open letter of the post office box of the internet.

For the past month or more, I have noticed you acting in strange and peculiar ways throughout your daily lives.  While I am not privy to your name or your specific occupation, the way you have carried yourself or performed some mundane task has me intrigued.  So intrigued, in fact, that I feet compelled to write you a letter in order to reach a small measure of understanding between us.  Without this communicative effort, I feel my own sanity would slowly slip away.  The possible reasoning to your actions would reverberate throughout my entire psyche, slowly fraying the very fabric of my already fragile mental state.

It is within this framework of mutual understanding that I graciously offer to you this symbiotic gift of your own post office box.  A free lifetime subscription, but no warranty expressed or implied, entitles you to receive occasional correspondences conforming to the highest quality possible.  These letters contain a, hopefully, rational discussion related to whatever mind-bending behavior you graced the world with.

Again, I humbly thank you for your time and wish you nothing but the best as you live life by your own rules.  May the rest of your day be as pleasant and unique as you are.

Sincerely,
-Ekpneo
