To All Concerned,  Hello !  So how has life been treating you as of late ?
I hope that life is worth enjoying on your end.  I guess you could say that I am doing all right at the moment, although, we both know that  I could and should be doing much better.  Anyway, I am writing this letter in hopes of drawing your attention to establishing a friendship with me.  Being that this is an introduction letter, I would like to take this time to introduce myself to you.    My name is Ronald R. Howard Sr., and  I am 27 years of age. And right now I am trapped on the most infamous, or famous, depending on your choice, death row here in the United States, Texas Death Row.  I have been here for the last seven years.  But I have been jailed for the last eight and a half years.  I'm from the city of Houston, and have lived there for all of the 18 years of freedom that I enjoyed.
 I stand at about 6'2, and weigh 210 pounds.   I have black hair and brown eyes.  I'm also the father of three, and with the picture I am sending of myself, you will see my youngest little girl with me.  Her name is JaBoria.  I have a great deal that interest.  I enjoy reading, listening to music, playing sports such as football and basketball.  I also like to watch boxing.  I enjoy spending time with friends.  I like animals of the wild, large cats, snakes, and wild birds or exotic birds.  Though I have never been camping or had a chance to take a hike through a forest, I think that I would enjoy that as well.  These are just a few things that I find of interest.  Being that I have briefly described myself to you I would like to close this letter by letting you know the type of person I'm looking forward to hearing from.  I'm a very open and honest person , therefore, I a m looking for the same in return.  Someone who is willing to simply be the person that they are, willing to share their thoughts and ideas with me.  And at the same time listen to what is on my mind.  Someone who understands that life here can be very stressful and boring and that a regular correspondence with someone is really appreciated on this end.  Are you that somebody ?  Tell me you're that somebody.   Having said all of that, I will now bring this letter to a close.  I hope, that this letter definitely strikes your interest in corresponding because I am looking because I am looking for a friend I can express myself to.  You will find out more about me in future letters if you take the time to respond. Sincerely,

Ron R. Howard Sr.  999069

Ron's Original Pen Pal Request:

Dear Reader, First off, I am hoping that this letter may find you at your very best. That your health is good, and that you have a smile shining bright.... And as for myself I well I am doing fine. And speaking of myself, Please allow me to introduce myself... My name is Ronald Ray Howard Sr., and I am a 26 year old African American, who has somehow found himself trapped within prison wall's....In fact I am on death row, and have been for a little over six years now.
I am writing this letter in hope's of finding a friend or two. A pen friend. Some one who I can trade thought's with. Some one just to be a friend. And as I understand it, you and/or your organization help's people like me with finding some one to write. So I would like to ask that you assist me in my search for a pen pal.    And to assist you in the search, I think that I would do good in telling you more of what type of person that I am hoping to find. And then a little more about myself, as well....   I am searching for some one who is at least 24 year's of age and up. Male or Female? It really doesn't matter. I am looking for someone who can be honest and open minded. Real and true to themselves, and then to me as well. I am hoping for a person who is down to earth. Someone who will not attempt to judge another, but who will try to understand first and foremost.   And as for me, I feel that I am a very real, honest and down to earth person. I try to enjoy the simple thing's that life has to offer. I am not a religious person, yet I do believe in God. I feel that since there is so much evil in this world, that there just has to be some goodness too. I like animals,most all kinds, but large cat's and Black Panther's in particular. I enjoy listening to music, reading book's and some poetry too. I also enjoy doing work with my hand's. Wood craft's and the like.  And I am a very big sport's fan. Baseball, and Football, I like to play and watch too. But I love to watch and play basketball. It is my favorite ......   Well, that's really all that I can think of to tell you about myself, and what I am in search of. I really do hope that it is a help. And I am hoping to receive some type of response some time in the near future....      I would like to thank you fur you time and for your help
Sincerely,  

Ron R. Howard Sr.  999069
