[Marco Botelho de Sousa]

Dear Fedora Lounge Members & Administration,

My membership has just been approved.

I believe a proper introduction is in order in as a courtesy and gentlemanly conduct.

My name is Marco Botelho de Sousa and although I've been born in Portugal, I was raised, studied and worked in England.

That means that although I am legally Portuguese, I am in all practice measures British.

I am a jurist and legal counselor as week as an timate classic gentleman.

I am the very proud owner of a collection 0s 189 hats, mainly composed of Fedora, Trilby and large brim sryle hats.

I hope to be able to contribute in the exact same proportion of what I get from this fuorum.

I do believe this will be a more than frutuous bilateral cooperation.

Yours faithfully,

Marco Botelho de Sousa J.C.
