NOTE: After a couple of years of being absent due to personal reasons I feel i am ready to get back in to swapping again. I know many of you may have choice words about me, and for that i can understand. I am truly sorry for the way things turned out. But i am willing to send out the swaps owed and i want to put things right again.

Please accept my most sincere apology for my behaviour concerning swap-bot over the few years. I have thought long and hard about what happened and I realise how very upset/angry you must have been.

I am really sorry for creating the situation which I know I should have handled better. I admit that I was in the wrong and can only say how sorry I am. I can promise you that this will never happen again and hope that you will give me the opportunity to prove this to you.

I became absent from swap bot and couldnt complete swaps owed at the time due to personal reasons, depression being the main one, but since then i am in a happier and more positive spirit than what i have been in a long time.

I understand that it might be difficult for you to accept my apology but hope that this letter will help. I will be contacting and sending all swaps owed now i can access my swap-bot account again.

My name is Ria Cabral, but everyone calls me ree. I'm twenty-seven years old, female and a student with UOP I am married to my husband and best friend Michael who is in the United States airforce. We move around with his job. We have 3 children.
