A Good Friend Wanted ...

Hey Girl,

With the utmost respect and courtesy, I am reaching out to you. My name is Richard Benjamin and I am currently incarcerated in the corrupt California Prison system. I pray that you may take a few moments to read the next few lines and perhaps discover something about me that might pique your interest.

I am forty-seven (47) years old. I stand six feet tall and weigh 225 pounds. I am of African and Native American decent, have light brown eyes and a carmel complexion. I am also a talented and professional cook.

I have a wide range of interests and hobbies ranging from physical fitness, reading literature of substance, writing, listening to music, cooking, and above all cultivating my mind.

I am searching for a female friend, over the age of 21. I hold no racial discriminations, though I do possess a strong affinity for an exotic woman. I hope to correspond with someone who is socially conscious, caring, responsive and possesses a certain passion for living life to the fullest.

I have been throwing rocks over the wall with messages attached.... Sending up smoke signals... And putting notes in bottles, all in the hope of finding a friend who can help me stay connected to the outside world.

I understand that persona and misconceptions built up around prisoners, as well as the doubt and reservations that can be held. If you can see your way above these, I can promise to always remain honest, respectful, understanding, and above all else real. Hope to hear from you soon.
