Please reconsider and do this through an organization that can assist you and help keep you safe. I have done this in the past, and even with my background, it became sticky at times.

The reason I say go through an organization, is so you don't give out your own address... or at least use a post office box. They have been known to show up on the doorstep..and even use penpals as references for employment and gaining credit accounts.

An organization can educate you in how to write and help without becoming unsafe yourself. TC please!
