Hi Claire，
My name is Can and I live in Istanbul. I'm 24 years old. I studied database programing in college. It took two years. I've got a two-year associate's degree for my studies. Then I changed my major. I finished my Bachelor's degree. It's International Relations. I finished two different departments in four-years.
I like to watch football and basketball matches， hanging out with friends， gym， shopping and cooking :)
I live in Istanbul. Istanbul is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. There are about 15 million people live in here. A city with a magnificent architectural texture. It's a really nice place to live. We have many diversified people living here from all religions， nationalities and beliefs. Everyone is accepted and you can live your life as you please with total freedom.
I am very honest， outspoken， sincere and easygoing. I respect all my friends and we all have a good time when we are together. I have only one best friend who I spend a lot of time with. We have so much in common and have a great friendship.
What do you do? What are your hobbies? When you have time please write me and tell me more about yourself. I'm so interested in hearing about you.
All my best wishes for our friendship，
Hope to hear from you soon!
可见得，依旧是非常乖巧得体的陈述，开篇介绍他自己的基本情况如教育背景和爱好等，尤其他对自己的评价也显得人畜无害。还有他对自己的故乡伊斯坦布尔的描述，包容美丽，仿佛在伊斯坦布尔出生、成长和生活的人也一定是开放宽容的，好一派热情好客的景象。最后他也不忘了互动，询问我的基本情况，甚至将殷切之情表露得克制又张扬，层层递进地融化收件人的心，进而轻易地接纳这个陌生人抛来的橄榄枝。
作为一个像文科生的理科生，我对懂得精深文学知识和高超科学技术的人都非常敬佩和向往，如果能够兼备那是再好不过的，那意味着我们不仅可以谈心，也可以立足于现实生活。本科四年就获得了国际关系和数据库编程两个学位，不得不让人觉得他是个聪明上进的优质青年。另外，球类比赛也是非常常见的健康的男生爱好，说明他不只是个书呆子。他还喜欢和朋友出去玩，下厨和购物，这让这个男子似乎更接地气了一些。他提到他只有一个最好的朋友，这似乎是很私密的事，又或者这是个信号，说明他很孤单渴望新的朋友并且他也值得人们对他交心？
当然啦，我最初看到这封邮件的时候不可能分析那么多，只知道洋洋洒洒的文字似乎满屏都是他自己的优点，有些无趣枯燥，但倒也跟令人反感或自满骄纵扯不上半点关系。作为第一印象应该是非常合格的，至于他是不是真的如此真诚友好直率，且行且看吧。
