I posted this found letter a few years ago on my blog that has since been deleted, but I think it merits a more permanent home on this website, don’t you? The whole thing is amazing, but I’m particularly fond of this part: “I know you hate it when I compare my feelings to a song, but I have to. It’s just like Mariah Carey “Butterfly”…I’m like the butterfly and you’re like Mariah. You have to let me be the butterfly that i am…and allow me to fly into da sun…” This girl wants out of the relationship so bad that she’s pleading to D’andre to let her pull an Icarus and get murdered by the sun so she can go bang some dude named Darnell. Enjoy!
PS I found this letter in the same trash heap where I saw two cockroaches fucking. I ❤ NY

So, wait, did D’Andre print this out so he could carry it around and weep over it, before throwing it into the cockroach-orgy trash can?
that’s the New York equivalent of burning a love letter
Poor D’andre…
C’mon “1 in a 1,000,000 (one in one million) ” is the best part!
I’m surprised you didn’t redact D’Andres full name….
his full name isn’t in there, just his first
His full name is at the bottom of the first paragraph: (I am entirely sorry for all I’ve eva put you [full name] through).
A little google action & there is his FB page.
You can try all you want, I’m still coming to Mix.
Pardon me for saying so, but: interesting letter.
…with words +phrases like: [wut] and [into da sun]. Phrases like [into da sun] are in the letter, but the author/woman? seems to use a lot of good grammar, otherwise. As in, [wut], is not the proper way of spelling, what .
It’s as if she had created a type of city or street slang, that she can use, while she is typing. maybe it’s a street-slang typing style.
It reminds me of how the the 1970s/New York City-ish animals talk, in the cartoon book: The Lizard of Oz by Mark Bode.
Arrg! I forgot to put my email on the above comment. You know, this one:
“Pardon me for saying so, but: interesting letter.
…with words +phrases like: [wut] and [into da sun]…”
Sorry about that. C’est la vie.
whoa, I didn’t catch that, thanks Lindsay! fixed.
Very illuminating; thanks for sharing!
I was sure that people who wrote like this didn’t exist.
Probably D’andre printed it to laugh at it with his pals…
- Thanks for sharing the letter, feels kind of wrong reading this but hey you put it up
Sounds like the author wants a “break” so she can “fly” (sleep with darnell), hah . Classic .
Fran; I’m sure people like this exist, hah I know several people who write and speak like that .
It’s scary .
TL;DR: Yo D’andre, I’m gonna fuck Darnell for a while but I’m keeping you on the backburner in case things don’t work out. Peace!
No problem! I felt kind of like a melvin-y finger pointer leaving that comment but it seemed you didn’t realize it was in there but that you DID care if it was so I wanted to let you know.

Bulls eye! That’s exactly what I got when I read it.
