Who wants a pen pal?

If you are Asian, single, and of marriageable age, at some point your parents will try to 'help'. Whether or not you actually want this so-called 'help', is actually irrelevant. So, thus, I share this letter that my mom received from my aunt who has a friend with two eligible sons. In Texas. Which I have never visited and is a mere piddly 1541.66 miles from where I am. (thanks, Mapquest)

[The fact that the pictures are so old makes me think that the sons have no idea (and probably want no part of) this matchmaking scheme.] Names changed to protect the innocent.

The boys rarely have their picture taken. Kindly return the pictures after viewing since these are the only pictures taken in the last 4 years. I will return the girl's picture too.

Both boys took private piano & violin lessons until they finished college. Started music lessons when they were 7 years old.

Please furnish some info on the girl. Thanks.
