Firstly, Mr Postman, my name may not be a German one and it may even be (at a stretch) confusing for you to pronounce. It is, however, easy to spot on the postbox. I respectfully ask you to do your job a little less hastily and take the time to look for my name.
Secondly, I have finally cut myself away from a distinct period in my life. I ask for it to be left that way.
