Hi, I would very much like to initiate a friendship with you, formed around mutual respect and curiosity for the ways we live our contrasting lives. Perhaps this friendship could start with us exchanging emails.
I do understand that we are only acquaintances and reaching out to you in such a manner may feel somewhat intrusive. If you feel this way, please accept my sincere apologies. This message is intended to convey nothing more than an earnest desire to foster a
deeper understanding of different walks of life through a new relationship.
Please take your time to mull this over and respond whenever you feel comfortable. Whatever your response, I respect your choice and appreciate your time.
Kind regards,
Sofia
