Words from a Real Friend

Hi all,

I received an email from a TRUE MALE friend of mine today – we used to work together.

Anyway, it’s been about a month since I last wrote to him just to say hi and keep in touch. He has a great writing style and I just wanted to share it with you guys.

This is how he started his note:

“I could have replied to your email weeks ago, but I have developed a talent for finding all sorts of reasons why I can't spare a few moments on any given day to jot down an email, or (God forbid) actually pick up a phone and chat with a friend or relative. If I were President of the United States I might be excused; it's hard work keeping up a friendship. However, at this very moment, I find myself incapable of inventing one more lame excuse, leaving me with no other option but to reply to your generous letter.”

Isn’t that awesome?
