Some tips, meant as friendly advice:

1) If you are writing to a stranger, let her know how you got her email address so she can know if she knows you, if she wants to know you, and if she wants to answer your email.

2) The word "you" only has two more characters than the abbreviation "u", and it looks more like a grownup has written the email if you use those extra characters. Similarly your/ur, are/r, and please/plz.

3) Why on earth would a stranger want to tell you personal details about herself? Don't ask personal questions of strangers; it would make your momma cry.

4) A really quick way to ensure that some hot bi babe wants to make you part of her harem is to call her "hun" before you've even met her. And if you believe that, I can send you the link to my eBay auctions, because you'll buy anything.

Kindly,

Serene

That one isn't even worth the trouble to write back "I don't know if you can ask, but you haven't yet. Don't bother, I won't answer."

You might get snickerdoodles for that. :)

Perhaps the person calls you "hun" as a way of praising you as one with the virtues of the warrior people of the East, from whom I am descended. Perhaps a reader of Leadership Secrets of Attila the Hun.

Thank you for the bemused snicker. :) That felt different; not good, exactly, but at least better than 'oh, gad, what a moron!'

heheheh

That has got to be the absolute worst e-mail pickup line I've ever seen. If I saw that, I would instantly assume it's spam, because I get similar e-mails (with equivalent grammar, no less) all the time from some bogus HBB begging me to find them on a personals site or check out their webcam or some such nonsense. It's like DUH...if you're a real person who really wants to talk to me, write intelligently and don't tell me I can only find you on some strange porn site, just leave me a REAL e-mail address for REAL correspondence!

"u" and "ur" make me think of urine.

Not the best association.
