A man surnamed Lee in Panjin of northeast China's Liaoning Province is still shocked and embarrassed after spotting a love letter from a fair lady on his BMW sedan on September 18, the Liaoshen Evening Paper reported.

"I don't know you but I 'love' you. To be a BMW owner means you are not mediocre," reads the delicate pink love-confession letter, continuing with, "Hi, you BMW owner. My name is XX, 24 years old, with a university diploma, slim figure, sweet look, and a decent job. All I want is to fall in love with an established man with both a house and car. A future happy life awaits us, so please contact me at 1390427xxxx as soon as possible."

On recalling the unexpected "encounter," Lee couldn't hold back his astonishment, saying, "Girls are too bold nowadays. She even dared to woo a strange man for love just because he drives a BMW. How vulgar and audacious the girl is!"

To be sure, while the outspoken girl was imprudent in such a courting act, her choice was most decided: She didn't post any such dear-hunting letter on the "Bora," "Jetta," and "Hyundai" sedans parked beside the lucky BMW.
