Dictation:

Dear Jane,

Let me introduce myself. My name is Richard. I am forty-seven years old, and I work in Washington. I am a lawyer, and a partner in a 5-lawyer firm in this city. I was divorced last year after a 16-year marriage.

I saw your photo. Your smile is very lovely! I’m sure you have received many letters, but I hope you will write back to me.

Besides the legal profession, I am also in the US Air Force Reserve. My interests are different. I enjoy music, theatre, dancing, traveling, tennis, skiing, and many other activities. My health is excellent and I like to think I am young for my age.

You mentioned that you are looking for someone who is caring, educated and independent. These are the qualities I would like to find in a woman. A successful marriage requires that each spouse respects the other, has good communication skills, and shows love to each other every day. This is the kind of marriage I would like to have.

I have a 14-year-old daughter, Kelli, who lives with her mother. Her mother is remarried. Her mother also has a daughter by another marriage, who I adopted, and she is 19.

I would like to remarry someone who has a son. It was a great regret of mine that I didn’t have another child, particularly a boy.

I would love to tell you about myself, and the wonderful American Northwest where I live (the best part of the United States).

Sincerely,

Richard.
