Dear Smallbrownteddybear,
I apologize for this sudden email. You do not know me, and I do not know you. I must admit I am unsure of where to start, and I am uneasy writing this email; but I will try to be brief so as not to take up too much of your time.
Today I took a stroll down a local mall and stopped at a cafe. As I was enjoying my latte, I saw a young boy calmly walking hand in hand with his mother. Asked to sit on a chair just outside a small local store, he politely complied and waited for his mothers brief return. She exited a moment later with a gift for him. As she handed it to him, I realized it was a small brown teddy bear. He was slightly confused as to what it represented, but his mother wrapped the bears arms around his neck and nestled its face into his. Delighted, his eyes lit up, and they left happily hand in hand.
This scene has had me feeling all kinds of nostalgia and whimsy since I beheld it. It felt like an 'ordinary miracle' to see such a thing take place. However, I have felt not only positive emotions from this experience. An overwhelming sense of emptiness and longing accompany them. I have decided, on the spur of the moment, to email you. I'm not sure I believe in signs or destiny, or even miracles for that matter. But at the very least, whomever created smallbrownteddybear@worldmail.com must be a kind and loving person; I can hardly imagine otherwise.
I apologize again for this strange message. In fact, I don't really know what it is that I am asking. I'm hoping you can tell me?
Earnestly awaiting your reply,

Dear Striving2understand,
It took a long time for me to read this email. This is a very old account I made when I was younger. All my friends where using email so I gave it a shot. The name was the first thing I saw lying on my bed. Thought it was cute. So apologises.
I had no idea that anyone would ever email me on this old email. All of my youtube notifications go here. You know, the annoying spam emails they always send. So and so uploaded a video. No? But that's the only use of this account these days. When I got older, I needed a more professional email name. So, I only check this email every few months. Maybe it's just luck that I checked it today!
I don't really have all the time in the world; I will keep this short. I have no idea what you're asking either. I am sorry to fail at knowing that. I am not sure why I am even responding to you anyway. You're just a stranger after all. I could've just deleted the email and forgot it was there.
I can see that this was a spur of the moment thing. But maybe we can make something out of it? I understand if not. Maybe you could tell me a little bit about yourself? Anyway, I best be off. I need to collect things up and buy some shopping. It is a Sunday after all!
Sincerely,
Smallbrownteddybear

Dear Smallbrownteddybear,
I am so glad you replied to my e-mail! I had honestly given up hope of getting a reply, but I was delighted to see your response in my inbox just now. Do you mind if I continue to e-mail you at this address?
I do apologize again for my odd e-mail. I must admit, I actually feel a little embarrassed. Do you find though that on a rare occasion something inexplicable will happen, and you feel you need an answer? If I have these moments I often direct the question randomly and hope for some kind of miraculous answer. (I really am too poetic, I actually feel awkward and embarrassed as I read over this email draft.)
Well, to make things a little more tangible, I'm going to follow your thought process. Here's something about me: I love teddy bears! And in fact, all kinds of plush toys. Did you know that the teddy bear has only been around since the 20th century and is named after President Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt? I love fun facts. There you go, that's two things about me.
Yours truly,
Striving2understand
