Your university had this program for the students to communicate with foreign students around the world. You were assigned with an Italian guy named Leon Kennedy. The whole reason of the program was to learn about the culture, language, etc. and then to make a final presentation/project for extra credit that would look good on your resume.

You sent your envelope to Leon, hoping you got the address right, you got a notification saying you had mail, it was probably the envelope from Leon, you went to the post office, took it out of your P.O. Box and went back home, you opened it to see words you didn’t quite understand, it was in Italian..you translated it:

“Hey, I’m Leon Kennedy from the “Pen Pal” program. I hope this reaches the right person.. I’m excited to meet you, well technically we’ll meet by mail, haha... I’ve always wanted to get to know other cultures. I’m sure I’ve already received your message once you’ve reading this! I’m curious to see how things will go!”

You chuckled, you never even knew this man but he sounded awkward through mail. You also saw his phone number at the bottom of the note, saying “Here’s my number in case you want to talk normally, as friends!”

Cute.
