I will be grateful for any help You can provide. I express my gratitude and most sincere respect to You.

Elise’s Response:

Ok, a few items here. First of all, and this has nothing to do with you personally Marc, but I am way over men writing me letters where they always capitalize references to the female, such as She and Her. I get it, you men want to show respect to women and I give you all credit for your humble attitude and your recognition of the fact that women are the superior gender. However, it makes for difficult reading.

I often translate these letters into a more readable format. I left your letter as is so I could point out that this has become a pet peeve of mine. So from now on guys, please use proper grammar and punctuation, as best you can. Type your letter into a Word Document or some kind of Word Processing program and check for spelling errors and grammar problems. It does not have to be perfect, and God knows I make plenty of grammar errors myself, but please do a better job if you want me to read your letters.
