Letters Home
From Malaysia
1986-1987

It may well be that not many of us have kept letters sent or received during the time we lived in Malaysia. Thank goodness for the foresight of some though. These letters have been kept and were given to me by kind permission of the owner (recipient) with full permission to publish them on this site. Not only has permission been granted, but due to an understanding of the importance and relevance of the content of the letters, it was the expressed desire that they be published and thereby shared and appreciated by all.

By reading these letters, you will find your memories once again refreshed in a very real way, as we read what could be what we ourselves might've written. There are some brilliant and humourous anecdotes of just how it was for us all. The names have been changed.
