Not the usual AWWW fare, but I thought these love letters written by Nigerians were charming. When brothers used to write letters with dictionaries. «Please always writing to me because I am missing you like sugar misses tea. »

How beyond touching! My favorite: “… put this blue blood on this paper… .” I wish I had written it first, and still may lay claim to it.

Second favorite -- but you can keep it -- is: "I love you more than a snake loves rat."

Reminds me of the over the top love letters of teenagers! How many of us saved those? How many of us would want to have those?
