It has recently come to my attention that I am no longer a capable member of the swap-bot community.
Before commenting on this matter please read the following message, as it may address some of your concerns.
Thank you for your time,
S.E.

After my current swaps expire I will not be signing up to participate in or host any additional swaps.
I apologize to those of you who have been effected my by disrespectful behavior, and will send out every package I am currently responsible for. The chances that a majority of these packages will be late are high, and I understand that this is not acceptable. It is, however, a reality that I have come to terms with and am now attempting to make the best of by removing myself from swap-bot as soon as all of the packages I owe are sent out and received.
Because I feel that it is owed, I have written a letter that explains the details of the situation and also reflects briefly on the powerful experience that I have had here.
If you wish to receive a copy of this letter please send me a blank message with the title “details� via swap-bot messaging, and I will send you the letter.
If you are not interested, then thank you again for taking the time to read this.

In closing, I would like to make a humble request;
I would like to keep my present account open.
After speaking at length with a very intelligent woman about my life, she suggested that I find a long term goal to work towards. Her belief is that it would help me to accomplish things as they come along if I had something meaningful to work towards, - I would like swap-bot to be that goal. When the day comes that I have faith in my ability to participate here once again, I would like to come back to my original account and be faced with the challenge of raising my poor average and gaining the respect of my peers, rather than simply creating a new account, where my history with swap-bot would be erased. I respect that it is now the right of the administration here to revoke my account if that is what they choose to do, but I would be very grateful if I was permitted to keep this door open.
Sincerely,
SarahElizabeth
