4. (The Nice Way)
Dear John,
I want a man who knows what love is all
about. You are generous, kind, and
thoughtful. People who are not like you
admit to being useless and inferior. You
have ruined me for other men. I yearn for
you. I have no feelings whatsoever when
we’re apart. I can be forever happy—will
you let me be yours?
Gloria

5. (The Mean Way)
Dear John:
I want a man who knows what love is. All
about you are generous, kind, and
thoughtful people who are not like you.
Admit to being useless and inferior. You
have ruined me. For other men, I yearn.
For you, I have no feelings whatsoever.
When we’re apart, I can be forever
happy. Will you let me be!
Yours,
Gloria
