He's expressing his undying love and admiration for you ... but oh the cruelty of the gods ... you are separated by the geography of the continents and the different tongues of mankind ... may the fates conspire that you may meet once again ... you are his ... chocolate

I hope you're no older than a young teenager putting that type of stuff up ... we don't really do Mills and Boon here ...

For a fuller version, try a search for 'english wives of turkish men' .. it's right up their street ...

My Uncrowned Queen...it may be that you are the most beautiful girl I will ever meet in this world, but fate has played a cruel game with me - you are on one continent, I on another...also, you don't speak Turkish, and I hardly know any English...I don't know, can we overcome these problems?..bit this is tru, I love you very much and miss you...can you help me on my cruel and hard journey [of life?]....ah, if only my thoughtsof you could pour from my pen. You are the most special person in the world, my chocolate...
*pauses to reach for sick bucket*
As I said, I was born in a pleasant village in Antalya. I have three brothers, and I'm the oldest....I have a simple life...I have a rather emotional and pleasant personality. I like poetry about the sea and nature, playing sport and wandering about(!) (Ah, If only you knew Turkish: I would whisper my poems about you into your ear on the telephone)
*blooooooaaaaargh!*
he goes on to talk about summer in Antalya, wandering over the sands, dancing till the morning, sitting on the beach with a dictionary, etc. etc.

Nothing I haven't seen before from someone wanting a visa.
Sorry to be so cynical.

Translation of the last sentence:

I don't know my love, what else do I have to explain, you ask, I will answer, thank you to your friend for their help...

Suggested questions?

If you were invisible for the day, what would you do?

What's the most important invention of the 20th century.

Friends are becoming more important than family in many European countries. Why is this the case. Do you think this could happen in Turkey? Why? Why not?

I am sure I had to write 500 word answers to those questions to get on the DELTA course.

I once had to translate a letter from an English girl to her Turkish waiter Paramour whilst trying to enjoy a pide in Selcuk. The waiter anxiously brought it to me, and asked me to tell him what it said. It was an exquisitely embarrassing experience, especially as I didn't speak T. fluently then; It started with the usual 'I miss you and I love you's, then went into rather expicit detail of what they had done on their last night and what the girl would like to do; then it descended into a dark farce of how her dog had been run over by her aunt, then her dad had died, then how she fell over in the street, 'but because, you know, I'm on the large side', it took three men to pick her up...

I think I met that guy who wrote that letter. Antalya right? He has a moustache, black hair and dark brown eyes, right? Plays the saz I think. Nice guy. He said he liked my beard.
