Dear Beautiful,
What's really going on? How is life treating you out there? As for me, my day is going well because I am full of love and energy, motivated by writing this letter to you. So I hope that you embrace my words and take a minute to let my words digest in your mind and your soul. Because you may never again have this opportunity to communicate with one of God's divine children.

Man has been made in the image of God, yet his wrongdoings and sins prevent him from reaching his true potential. Women were blessed and shaped by God to be man's helpmate (soulmate). Given the only ability to carry a child and give birth after nine whole months. You are like a baby God on this Earth—a creator giving life and light to this world.

As a conscious and self-educated black man, I fully understand now the significance of women on this earth. You are all beautiful—all colors, all shapes and sizes, from all walks of life. Beautiful lady, listen to me: are you open to communicating with a kind, loving, good man whose one fault is that he is unfortunately in prison?

My name is Bro. Khalfani Malik Khaldun, aka Leonard McQuay. I am 43 years old and I am six feet even. I am bald headed, with a beard, brown-skinned with brown eyes. Born and raised in Gary, Indiana.

I am searching for a good woman, someone who knows how to love and appreciate a man. Honest and loyal to that man, and open to new experiences that may ultimately make her a better person. It is hoped she will write letters and send pictures, and visit me when she can. Also, if possible, help me with basic needs for survival in prison. She should have my back, like I have hers. I am not into playing games, so the woman I want in my life must be straight up. I do not mean to sound arrogant or disrespectful, but I am certain you never met a man like me before.

Beautiful, if you are interested in taking on a new journey with a good man, write me and let me know about yourself. I am interested in hearing from you. May God bless you and keep you in his care. I am a writer and a poet, and am enclosing a sample of my poetry to you, inspired by a lost love.

Take care of yourself. Your potential new friends!

Bro. Khalfani M. Khaldon
