Dear Ka Bao, I fear this letter will surprise you very much, but I trust that you will excuse me after you have read it over. I am going to tell you about my feeling towards you. Dear Ka Bao, I have loved you since I met you first-three years ago when you still very young. I have thought of you and have dreamt of you since then. The more I see you, the more I love you. I feel sure that I can't live on earth happily without you. I have nothing to say more now, but shall ask you straight out. Do you love me? Will you marry me? If you love me and will marry me, I shall be very glad and shall be the happiest man on earth. I do hope you will answer to this letter and won't make me hopeless. Your sincere friend, Moua Darling, How are you? What about the weather over there? In here rainy season is coming now and the crop cultivation season is going to begin soon. Do you know I think of you every single minute? I can't explain why this happens to me. My sweet heart! I want to arrange a welcoming party for you when you return. Since you left me, I feel very lonely and it seems that time is going by very slowly, day and nights seem to be longer than usual. Whenever I think of you, I can only look at your picture I just know that separation has badly burnt my heart and soul. Indeed, life without you is meaningless and very miserable. Darling! When you finish your work over there. Please quickly return home, everybody always asks me about your return. What about your parent? Are they in good health? Please give my love to both of them and I will be very pleased indeed if they could visit Laos again. I'm very glad that your parents are always kind to me. Unfortunately, while they were in Laos, I could take care of them much since their trip was very short indeed. I only hope that they will have no objection to our marriage plans and I'm delighted to tell you that my parents have already agreed. At first, they felt reluctant but later agreed when I told them that after marriage you plan to settle down in U.S.A.. I'll let you know further details after your arrival. Ok! Let me end this letter now. Please write me as soon as you receive this letter and if possible please tell me approximate date of your arrival. Take care! Looking forward to your return. Yours with love, Moua Thao Darling , I'm very delighted to tell you that my parents have no objection to our marriage plans as they know you quite well, though your stay in Laos was not too long. They even told me that you are good man and are confident that you could look after their daughter. They don't mind whether you are Hmong or foreigner. So long as you really love their daughter, they will be very happy indeed. Do you really love me? Will you love me forever and marry me soon? I'll love you throughout my life and be good wife. I'll be by your side till the last breath of my life. After marriage, I'll let you decide whether we shall settle down in Laos or in your country. As you know full well, I love you from the bottom of my heart. So, it doesn't matter whether we stay in U.S.A. or anywhere else. Immediately after receiving this letter, please let me hear from you at once and if possible, please meet me soon so that the marriage ceremony can take place as planned. Take care of your health and convey my regards to everybody in your family. If they are free, please invite all of them to attend the ceremony to witness our love as well. Good-bye for now. Yours lovingly, Moua Thao Dear Moua How are you? I hope you're getting on well. I think you'll be very surprised to see my letter as it is my first letter to you. Since you have left me, I feel very lonely, I have no close friend like you. I still remember the day on which both of us went to have a drink together. I think you are a very nice man indeed. I think of you day and night and I don't know why I have this strange feeling. I have never felt like this about anyone before. To be very frank, I can't even keep myself from thinking of you for a minute. Actually, according to Hmong custom, it is not good for a woman to express such a feeling toward a man, especially a foreign man, but I can't keep any secret now I have met you and I feel happy to reveal it to you. I only hope that some day you will have another chance to visit me and I'll be so happy if you get the chance. I hope to read your sweet letters soon. Yours Always, Mai Xee Thao Dear Moua, How are you? Have you started working now? Since you've left Thailand, I still go to visit the places where we used to go together. At that time, you asked me several questions about historical places in Thailand, especially about the Grand Palace and the Ancient Capital in Ayuthaya Province where our boat trip was very exciting. Do you remember I had to learn several English words by heart and many times I made grammatical mistakes, but you still encouraged me to speak whatever I know in English? I felt very shy indeed, but due to your constant encouragement, I'm now not afraid of any mistakes, because I can learn through mistakes. You may not know that since we return from Chieng Mai Province, I had a strange feeling toward you, but I got no chance to reveal it to you and today I can no longer keep it secret whatever may be I have to let you know through this letter. Moua! I'm falling in love with you. I speak from my heart. As you often said I was a straightforward girl and now I prove it myself. How do you feel that about me? I only hope that I'll be lucky enough to hold you in my arms soon. Moua! Let me say good-bye now, I'm looking forward to reading your letters enthusiastically. Please tell me how you feel and if possible I'd like to have another picture of you as well. Always yours, Mai Xee Moua! Darling! What has happened to you? Why have you not sent me any letters at all? Do you know I worry about you to death? I have stayed awake for several nights, I only pray that nothing has happened to you. Our children keep asking about your return. Darling! I'm short of money now, and as you know my salary alone is not enough. If your money doesn't reach me at the end of this month, I'll have no alternative but to work at the same pub in Patpong again. You know I don't want to but the situation may force me to do so. You are the one who wanted me to quit this career and I'm very much disappointed that you left us behind without a single letter for several months. Moua! If you were in my position what would you feel? As you know full well that I love you so much and I will be in distress throughout my life if something bad happens. Previously, I had no future, I just lived for the sake of money to feed myself and my aged parents in upcountry, and when I met you who encouraged me to pursue a normal life, I thought of my future and children. Darling! I really don't want to resume that career again, but what should I do if we have to live without you as current job as housemaid cannot bring in sufficient income. Moua! After receiving this letter, please let me know urgently, at least just to know that you're alright. I'm waiting for you and wish that you would return to Thailand safely. Please take care of yourself. I'm sorry if my letter hurts you, but I feel hurt when I don't receive any letter from you. Your Loving wife, Mai Xee Moua Darling! I'm writing this letter to apologise to you for my ignorance in using harsh words against you without knowing the exact truth. I thought you just married me for the sake of you convenience in running in business in this country. Though my past life has not been as pure as other girls, I have never associated myself with life of a service girl again. I want to be a good wife to you and a good mother whom our children can be proud of in future. I don't want to damage your reputation as a businessman. Only during this business trip I did realize that you're a great man and beloved husband. I'm so sad because I should not listen to other people say too much as it will never bring any good to the family and it may even ruin our love life as well. Moua! I think of you very much and I hope you'll forgive your wife and return to Thailand soon. Father didn't know you had left the country, so he brought bananas, which are your favorite fruit, for you and he will return home tomorrow, Mother and everybody in Thailand are alright and waiting for you return. Take care! Your loving wife, Mai Xee Darling! I'm sorry to tell you that our child, Tou Ger, is seriously ill, I took him to see the doctor this morning. The doctor said he had got a severe cold and had to have a complete rest. What really disturbs me most is his crying for you, he keeps on asking when daddy is coming back and I don't know when you will finish your work over there. As you know very well, he refuses to eat whenever he is not well. I get angry with him several times. If he was a good health he could be punished for his stubborness. I want to tell you that you should also teach him, not say, "Yes" just to make him pleased all the time. Anyway, he is in bed now. I hope this Express Letter will reach you very soon, and immediately after receiving this letter please arrange your flight and if possible, father and I'll meet you at the airport. Tou Ger said he wanted a doll from U.S.A. as well, so , please arrange this for him. OK! Darling! Let me end now. See you in Bangkok soon. Yours lovingly, Mai Xee Dear Hmong Boy, I have just seen your name is a Pen friend Column and learn that you like travelling. I myself have a similar interest especially in travelling to unknown destinations. Anyhow, this is my first letter to you, so I think it will be better if I briefly introduce myself and my country to you. Have you been in Thailand before? At present, I'm working in a Import-Export Company in Bangkok and I have a deal with official documents and use English quite a lot. I think it will be very nice if I could have a nice pen friend who can teach me some written English, I don't know whether this idea will be a burden to you. In fact, my intention is not only to ask you for help improving the language, but also to have a good foreign friend who may like to visit our beautiful country. Thailand was formerly known as "Siam" and is also known as "A Land of Smiles" , because Thai people always smile to each other as gestures of hospitality and peace-loving nature. I think if you have an opportunity to visit, I would suggest you visit the Grand Palace first, to be followed by Thai Ancient Capital in Ayutthaya Province, many Buddhist temples, the Crocodile Farm, Floating Market, National Museum or you may go to the northern part of the country where you will find a cooler climate than Bangkok, and you can visit Doi Suthep Temple as well as several waterfalls in Chieng Mai Province and if you travel up further to Chieng Rai Province you can also visit the Thai-Burmess border where citizens of the two countries trade with each other. What I have told you above are just some important places which you should not fail to visit, and if you can really come, I'll take you around but let me know earlier so that some necessary arrangements can be in advance. I hope this letter will enable you to imagine how beautiful Thailand is. I'll be very pleased if you are interested in visiting our country. Let me say good-bye for the time being. Hope to hear from you soon. Best Wishes Mai Xee Dear Ka Bao I hope you will forgive me if you don't like this letter. I have decided to speak to you myself several time, but I couldn't say a single word. You know what friends we have been for years, and how much we have seen of one another. Well, dear Kabao, the more I have seen you, the more certain I am that all my future happiness lies in your hands. Dear Kabao, I love you more than everything in the world. I could cover sheets of paper and yet not say half that I feel, but what would be the good? Dear Kabao, do you love me? If it is " yes" I shall be the happiest man in the world. I eagerly await your answer. Much love from, Moua Dear Ka Bao, Before meeting you yesterday I had determined to ask you a question of the deepest importance to myself, but when the moment came I found that I was tongue-tied, But I will tell you now.

Sometimes I read a book but didn't understand it, because of seeing your faces full up. Moreover, I have been always dreaming of you. At first I wondered very much of its happening, but when it was well considered I realized that I have fallen in love with you and it can't be rooted out.

My dear, do you love me? Are you pleased to marry me? If you accept me, I shall be happy very much indeed, and I shall ask my elders to come and speak to your parents immediately. I have no words to express more, but I can be well responsible that I shall love you only through out my life without any alteration. I hope you will not refuse my love and will let me have your answer soon. Your devoted friend, Moua Dear Mai Xee, I am writing to tell you about a very important matter for my life. Last night I wanted to speak to you myself, but I found that I was tongue-tied and couldn't say a single word. Do you know what it is? I'll tell you the truth now. I do love you and want you to marry me. I have never fallen in love with anybody else before, but you. You shall be my first and last lover, I feel sure that you and you alone can give me my future happiness. I am more and more certain of it everyday. I give you my word that I shall!

My dear, I have loved you and realize that you are the greatest value to me more than everything on earth. I feel sure that I shall certainly be unhappy through out my life, if you will not accept my love and marry me. I confess to you that I always think of you and dream of you day and night. I want to be near you all the time, because it makes me happy and refreshed. I am certain that you only can bring my future happiness into my life. Dear Mai Xee, I do hope you will be kind enough to accept my proposal and let me know your answer as quickly as possible. Yours always sincerely, Moua Dear Mai Xee, I made up my mind to speak to you myself several times, but I could not do so. That is why I am compelled to write this letters to you. I have known you for a very short time, but it seems for years. Every time I have you by me I feel so happy and proud. Dear, I do hope you don't mind that our friendship has changed, that is I have been falling in love with you for a long time ago. I realize all my future happiness lies in your hands. If you don't love me and marry me. I shall be certainly a heart-broken and shall be unhappy for all future time. You are the girl whom I have ever loved. I have never loved anyone else before, but you. My dear, do you love me? Are you pleased to marry me? If it is " yes" I shall be the happiest person on earth. I shall not rush you off your feet. I implore you to think it over carefully because the happiness of two lives is so important a thing. I hope you will kindly reply as soon as you can. Yours devotedly, Moua Dear Mai Xee, I do hope you will not wonder at my saying in this letter. It's useless to beat about the bush. I'll speak to you quite frankly now. Dear, you are the best girl I have ever seen in my life. You're the admiration of everyone who knows you, including me. You are not only good, but also clever, beautiful and sweet. I met you first in 1988 at the Hmong New Year Celebration and I have fallen in love with you ever since. I am responsible that I love you from the bottom of my heart, and I'll love you to the last breath without any alteration. My dear, I need you to marry me badly. If I have no luck to marry you, I shall certainly be unhappy all my life long I am sure that you will not make me disappointed in you. You don't need to be rushed. I should like you to think it over carefully before making a decision. Our marriage will be a very happy one, if we love each other. On the next Sunday I'll come round and have your answer from your own lips. Most devotedly yours, Moua Dear Mai Xee, I once loved a girl whose name is useless to know. I loved her with all my heart and she told me that she loved me very much too. We were in love for a few months and then she changed her mind to marry a richer one. That caused me to blame all the girls that they were hesitating and needed to marry money only. But now I have seen clearly that I made a mistake. You have made me believe that men are different. Last month I was in bed over a couple of weeks, because of my broken heart. If I did not have you to take care of me all the time, I shall certainly die. You have shown me your kind heart and your goodness. I realize that I can't find a best girl like you any more in my life. I don't know how to thank you that you save my life. Dear, your goodness makes me love you sincerely and I want to get married with you. I have nothing to say more. I implore you to think it over and let me know your feeling towards me soon. Most sincerely yours, Moua |
