The letter in the bottle ..............................................................................

Last summer I spent a weekend at the beach. I walked along the shore, I breathed in the scent of the waves, I looked far out at the horizon and I dreamed sweet dreams. Suddenly I saw something strange moving towards me among the waves. I slowly realized that it was a special bottle that I had never seen before. Inside the bottle - just in the movies - there was a letter. I opened it carefully so as not to tear it and I saw letters in a language that I didn't know. I was overcome with curiosity and the very next day I attempted to solve the mystery. What language was the letter written in and what did it say? I finally discovered that the language was Amharic. A short time later I found someone who knows the language and this is what the letter said:
''Hello. I hope this letter falls into good and loving hands. After unrequited love that lasted nearly 20 years I am trying to recover and not succeeding. I feel as if I might have received a punishment in my life and will never manage to love again. The pain is terrible and I am unable to move forward. I feel devoid of emotions and hope that maybe this letter will open new doors.''
The letter had an address that had become blurred by the water and was completely illegible.
To my regret I was unable to answer the letter and send it, so what I did was to go to the beach with the bottle and the letter and throw it among the waves as far as I could, into the horizon. Who know where the letter will go?
