L.S.,

You probably received this, because you requested it. This is not SPAM. There was more that you wanted to know, and well, there is some more that I want to share with you.

Although I am a Dutch speaker of birth, I think an open letter to the world, should be readable by more then just Dutch people so most of the things I am gonna present here will be in English. I hope that doesn't offend you.

To start with the dry stuff I will give you a link to my resumee. It gives you a first peek into my life...

I grew up in the small town called St. Pancras in the northwest of the Netherlands. It's the place where my parents got deforced and where my father still lives in the same house I grew up in. After I finished school I went to Nijmegen, I had a girlfriend there and we lived together for three years. After that relationship was over, I moved to Utrecht, where I still live.

Utrecht is a place in the center of the Netherlands, which makes it easier for me to travel through the country for my work.

My greatest passion in life is the beach. From the early days of my life our family spend the holidays on the beach of Egmond aan Zee. My grandmother (and grandfather ofcourse), started camping on that same beach after the second world war. In the course of years that camping grew out to building tents on the beach, then small wooden houses and now we use mobile homes. For more on this see the pictures collection at http://strand.made-it.com

Due to the fact that I spend almost all my youth holdidays on the beach I am now very addicted to the beach and the beachlife. And have my own spot.

Another hobby of mine is writting. I like to write technical documentation as you might have noticed, but I also like to write stories and poetry. My alterego David has his own place on this site and if you can read Dutch you might want to try his site. Davids writings are not what one would call literature, but more a reflection of the way he thinks and looks at the world.

Due to my work for SNV, I get the change to once in a while see some more of the world. Places I have been:

• Zimbabwe
• Niger
• Cameroon
• Burkina Faso

I am not very good in speaking about myself, so I end this letter here. Hope it serves its purpose, and if you are not happy about it or expected more, you could always write me back.

Greetings,



Dennis Leeuw
