Dear Leander,
This time, I write to you from the Thalys between Bruxelles and Paris. I come back from a long business trip and I should hopefully enjoy Paris for a few days.
I hope you are well. I had no answer from my last email. I guess you are busy. If you are not so much interested in discussing with me, feel free to tell me (I don’t want to be boring :o)) On my side, I have to recognize I really like our exchanges. I believe there is something very romantic and old fashioned in discovering somebody through mail, even when if it is electronic. And I like what I know about you, even if I don’t know so much.
Do you know your first name Leander has a French translation : Léandre, which sounds very nice. It is the name of young lovers in many Molière's plays... It s a very rare first name in France but it has been becoming very posh and fashioned during the very last years!
I was at the Amsterdam Concertgebouw hall last Tuesday for a concert by the Gustav Mahler Jugend Orchester, an orchestra founded 20 years ago by Claudio Abbado. It s composed only of young guys from all European countries and they are full of energy. they played a Crazy vitaminized Bruckner 9th Symphony.
I hope you will have some time to answer me. If you prefer another way of communicating ( a chat or a real meeting), just let me know.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen,
Vincent

hello Vincent,
well, I've got a lot of things to do, but I'm sure I'm not as busy as you are.
Hmm, I think you will be surprised, but I'm still in school, last year now, so the job at KKL is just beneath my usual school days.
So you’re originally from Paris, or where do you come from?
It's such an interesting city, and I really love the French way of living, as well as the languages, it's the most beautiful for me.
You must be a passionate music fan so, if you’re listening to so many concerts while doing your working trips around Europe.
About your thoughts, that I don't want to stay in contact well I must just say, it's kind of unusual way to communicate, it's like a chat or something, and I normally don't do stuff like this. That's the reason why I am may be a little "careful".
Wish you a nice evening,
Leander

À laquelle je réponds bien sûr.

Objet : From my home
Hello :)
I just arrived in my home in Paris....
Makes me happy to read your message....
Do you live in Luzern?
To answer to your question, I was born in the centre of France, in Clermont Ferrand. I moved to Paris for studying and I felt in love with this city.
I am happy you also like it. I hope one day I can be your guide here.
I totally understand you are a little bit cautious about me because it is very true we have an unusual beginning of relation... I hope you do not imagine I did it many times in my life :). I would like to tell you I am a very trustable person, but of course you don't know me and you have no particular reason to believe me... I just hope you will agree with this one day in the future. But I really want you to feel free. I am happy to continue this discussion. If you want to stop at a certain level, I promess I will not insist...
With my very best regards from a city you like.
Vincent
