Mrs Tomlin:

Greetings from Kandahar Afghanistan! It is quite cold here, but nothing like North America.

I received your email address from our Postal Delivery Service, informing me that yourself and your discussion group were interested in sending me a package. I am most gracious and happy to receive packages; they've been a tremendous boost to morale here. However, it is with measured excitement that I tell you, my tour of duty here is set to conclude relatively soon, God willing! Postal delivery to myself and my mates often takes a month or more, and I am concerned that anything you send would arrive after I have departed. Believe me, in any other scenario, I would be very happy to be looking forward to a new care package! Nevertheless, your generosity is greatly appreciated. May I ask what discussion group you belong to?

Yours,

M (Matt) Lennox
