Dear Thomas,
The Importance of P
unctuation
Dear Thomas,
I want a man who knows what love is all about. You are generous, kind, thoughtful. People who are not like you admit to being useless and inferior. You have ruined me for other men.I yearn for you. I have no feelings whatsoever when we're apart. I can be forever happy--will you let me be yours?

Dear Thomas, I want a man who knows what love is. All about you are generous, kind, thoughtful people, who are not like you. Admit to being useless and inferior. You have ruined me. For other men,I yearn. For you, I have no feelings whatsoever. When we're apart, I can be forever happy. Will you let me be? Yours,

It sounds to me like part of or a variation on a letter sent by a New Zealand girl to her lover a century or two ago.
Her parents told her to write a letter to her suitor to tell him never to see her again. She did. But before posting it she added the postscript: Read every other line.
The letter said that she could not live without him and would join him.
She did and they were married.
This proves that punctuation and the use of English can change the meaning of one sentence or a whole page, and it can change your life for the better.
