For a long time I have tried to find a special way to propose marriage to my girlfriend Linda, whom I know for five years now. I wanted it very special, romantic and memorable, something our grandchildren would still remember.

And here is my idea: I will send out the proposal to Linda to 50 complete strangers, people I don't know – hoping, that they will forward my proposal to as many people as possible, which in turn forward it etc. And some day, I hope, it will reach Linda, after it has travelled a very long way. I know, it will take a long time and I am quite nervous…

From the poem MY Linda will know immediately that the proposal is for her.

I have created a homepage (http://www.proposal-to-linda.com) where you can find the current status of my quest. You can use the homepage to check if the proposal has already reached Linda (in that case it is not necessary anymore to forward the mail).

Once the proposal has reached Linda, I will put a note on these pages. Also I will publish there how many people have read the proposal so that everybody can see how far it has spread and that it is getting closer to Linda.

And of course you will find there what I am waiting for most: Linda's answer! I can't tell you, how nervous I am… Will she accept my proposal? Will she like the unusual way how she got it, through the hands of thousands of messengers all over the world?

Please cross your fingers for me! And please – help me by sending the mail to as many people as possible, to help it spread, so that it eventually reaches Linda.

And here is my proposal:

Linda, please forgive me, as you know English is not my native language. And I am not a poet. But I mean it from my heart.

My angel,

Five years ago, I will always remember the day
When fate made us meet, blissful Alaskan moments in May
Earth spun around us and a journey began
Love, warmth, happiness, enough the years to span.

The longer it lasts the more grows our bond
And with 80 still – of you I will be fond
Whatever happens, I will stay at your side
Through good and bad, together let us stride

No second with you was ever wasted
You are the sweetest I have ever tasted
We have spent so many years – why not a life?
Linda, will you marry me – and become my wife?

Sandra, if you have received that and have recognized me, then give me a sign so that I can continue with the romantic part of my proposal…
