i like this! gives us the idea that this person is curious, has a sense of humor, and is about to get him/herself into a bit of trouble.
ReplyDeleteI like that we drop right into the character's head. I'd read more.
ReplyDeleteAn intriguing beginning!
ReplyDeleteInteresting enough to want to read more.

ReplyDeleteOooo, what's in that envelope?! I'd definitely read more!
Yup. Hooked here.
ReplyDeleteThis was fantastic. I'd definitely read more to find out what was in the discarded envelope. I also think it's something that we all can relate to. We don't think we're these horrible people that would go through someone else's mail, but when it's right there in the trash...oh, wait, maybe that's just me. :) Either way, it was great.

ReplyDeleteInteresting set-up with intrigue and solid characterization. I'd definitely read more.
ReplyDelete...the type WHO'D read... <- I think that reads smoother.
ReplyDeleteI don't mind this as an opening, and I'm certainly curious enough to keep reading, but I'm really hoping that this letter is majorly important to the plot :) If so, great opening! :)
Intersting. I'd read on.
ReplyDeleteGreat start. I would definately read more.
ReplyDeleteI'm hooked.

ReplyDeleteI'd definitely read this. Already I've got to know what's in that envelope!
ReplyDeleteI agree with gypsywitch about dropping right into the character's head. Love that! :-)

ReplyDelete... I meant "sweet", of course.
