My name is Peter Cantu and I'm a deathrow prisoner writing this letter
in order to reach out to the world for a hand in friendship, with the
tremendous hopes that some out there will accept my friendship during
these times of tribulation. I'm a 30 year old Hispanic and I like reading fictional novels,
newspapers, magazines and listening to any good music. I also enjoy
sports and I exercise everyday. I'm normally a quiet person but I do
like to engage in intelectual conversation. I
seek anyone who is non-judmental, open-minded, and honest which are
mutual traits that I reciprocate willingly because honesty is the
foundation to lasting friendships. I live in a world of darkness and desolation but refuse to allow the negative to
swallow me up. This is a world of confinement for 23 hours a day but
it's your letter that humanize, where the Texas officials have sought to
dehumanize me. It's your letters that light this world of darkness and
brings forth smiles in a place where smiles shouldn't exist. When you
reach forth across a vast ocean thousands of miles away, in an effort to
bring friendship, you in essense actually pull a man out of the abyss. I'm
not sure what tomorrow may bring but today is well within my grasp. In
the midst of life's most chaotic storm, it's your friendship that makes
me even stronger as I stand in the storm. So I ask you, with an open
heart to please take a moment of your precious time and send me your
line of friendship which will be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your
time in reading this letter and I truly hope to hear from you soon.
Sincerely Peter

Mein Name ist Peter Cantu und ich bin ein Todestrakthäftling, der
diesen Brief schreibt um Menschen da draußen zu erreichen in
Freundschaft und der großen Hoffnung, dass jemand da draußen meine
Freundschaft in den schweren Zeiten annimmt.
Ich bin ein 30-jähriger Hispanic und lese gerne fiktive Romane,
Zeitungen, Magazine und ich höre gerne jegliche Art von guter Musik.
Auch habe ich Spaß an Sport und täglichem Training. Normalerweise bin
ich ein stiller Mensch aber ich führe gerne intellektuelle Gespräche.
Ich suche jemanden, der nicht voreingenommen ist, offen und ehrlich ist,
denn das Merkmale, die ich habe, und Ehrlichkeit ist die Grundlage für
eine dauerhafte Freundschaft. Ich lebe in einer Welt voller Dunkelheit
und Isolation, aber ich wehre mich dagegen, dass das Negative mich
auffrisst. Hier ist eine Welt, in der ich 23 Stunden am Tag eingesperrt
bin, aber es ist Ihr Brief, der alles menschlich macht, obwohl die
texanischen Beamten alles geben, um mich zu entmenschlichen. Es ist Ihr
Brief, der Licht in diese dunkle Welt bringt und ein Lächeln, wo es
kein Lächeln geben sollte. Wenn Sie diesen Brief den ganzen Weg über
das Meer schicken um Freundschaft zu geben, wird Ihre Mühe einen Mann
aus dem Abgrund ziehen.
Ich weiß nicht, was der morgige Tag bringt, aber heute geht es mir in
meinen Möglichkeiten ganz gut. Mitten im kaotischen Sturm meines
Lebens werde ich sogar noch stärker, während ich mitten drin stehe.
Also bitte ich Si
