Oh my! Who would show up on my inbox today but the great Paulo Coelho. I wrote him yesterday coz Karen said he really replies to readers' mail but I never expected it will be so soon.

Mr. Coelho's full message, with my email to him, goes:

Dear Annalyn,
Thank you for your kind email. It's very important to know what the
reader feels towards my work. I've got great respect for your opinion and I'm
grateful for that.
May love always be your guide in every moment of your life

Paulo Coelho

Nome = Annalyn
email = olivemist@yahoo.com
Pais = Philippines
subject = Hello and greetings from the Philippines
Mensagem = Good day Mr. Coelho. I would just like to say that I
liked reading The Alchemist and it has inspired me to search for my own
Personal Legend.Your book, though simply written, has made an impact on my
life. I am about to read Veronika... and Eleven Minutes anytime now. I will
find time for them even though I have a busy schedule. I really hope you can come visit our country too to touch base with your numerous fans here:) Good luck
and keep the fire burning.

The bestselling author sure knows his email etiquette. I don't care if his executive assistant wrote it for him. His prompt response was much appreciated.I am reading Coelho now.
