My gun skills have improved too, no doubt thanks to all of the fine weapons available for purchase here. With my new found shooting skills, I can lock on to enemies like nothing, taking them down in a hail of bullets or flamethrower fuel. Have you ever carved up someone with a chainsaw? Messy, but terribly effective. I digress though. Sometimes I have to do more than drive and shoot, and that's when I have to get my hands dirty. Sometimes I have to remove a car's dashboard panel and twist the ignition wires together before the alarm goes off. Sometimes I have to turn a crank to lower a towed vehicle. Sometimes I have to man a crane to dump contraband cars into the drink. Whatever the case, with all of the driving, shooting and manual labor, there's plenty to keep me busy.

With my handy PDA, I have my entire life at my fingertips. It acts as a GPS when I'm on foot or driving, and has all of my oft traveled locations such as safe houses, employers and drug dealers as well as any favorite spots I want to input. I can check my email from it, as well as order guns and check the drug trade information.

Oh, did I not mention the drug trade? It's easily one of the best parts of living in Liberty City. I have subscribed to a newsletter that keeps me plugged in to what gangs are buying what drugs. The mailing list I'm on also means that dealers can email me when they're looking to either sell low, or buy high. Chan, I have sold over $340,000 in drugs and over $180,000 of that has been profit. I own fifteen properties. Fifteen! Some have a garage, some are secluded so that I can bring back stolen ammo trucks and drug vans, but all give me safe haven from the cops. Even though I can't see you, I know you think I'm lying, so let me tell you a tale.

Through a combination of stolen drug vans, and smart buying decisions, I managed to amass quite a considerable amount of cocaine. From my drug trade information, I knew which gangs would give me a slightly higher price than market value, but I was doing ok from the meager payouts of my employers and instead decided to hold on to the coke for a rainy day. Well, finally it poured and I had an email from a buyer who needed to supply some executives with some blow for a party. The good price was only good for a couple of days though, so my employers would have to wait.

I mapped out my course in my PDA, headed on over and did the deal. As promised, the buying price was sky high. Unfortunately, so was the police interest, and soon I was being chased by the cops. Luckily, I've been down this road before, so I had my Infernus idling at the curb. Here in Liberty City, the cops are quite persistent and must be dealt with if you're going to get away. Sure, if you bump into them with your car and they come after you, what I call a one star wanted level, you can get away and eventually lay low. Not so with a drug bust. No, I had to either smash the cops’ cars, or get them to crash so that they'd leave me alone. One cop into a telephone pole and one cop into a bridge pylon later and I was able to get back to my safe house unmolested where I had time to count the proceeds of my deal. I made $55,000 that day Chan, and that was just one of many such days. In fact, there are days where I do nothing but sling drugs, and ignore my employers.

Chan, you must come and visit! If you were local, we could play against each other! We could do one race, or have a whole season of races! We could shoot it out in the street, or team up against rival gangs! We could play a game of back and forth where I defend against your attacks and then you defend against mine! Chan, I have played these games with other people and they are so much fun! It’s such a break from the grind of drug dealing and gang member dismembering. If you can't make it here any time soon though, I can use my PDA's Wi-Fi connection to upload my statistics to a social club I've joined. Then, you can go onto the site (socialclub.rockstargames.com if you're interested) and check my progress. I can also send you favorite waypoints or weapons via Wi-Fi. It's a shame we can't do more over Wi-Fi, however that's just more of a reason for you to move locally.

Chan, I fear how this letter must portray me. I left you as a snot-nosed rich kid who cared for nothing but protecting his own ass, and now have turned into a remorseless killer who revels in the ability to make profits off of drug deals. Well, Chan, it's hard to be remorseless when I'm having so much blasted fun. I have heard of the exploits of others in this city, they talk of an Eastern European man as well as a biker gang, and I can assure you that I am having as much fun, if not more than them. I have never had this much fun in my life, and even when my missions are done, there is so much to do and see that I honestly don't see me leaving Liberty City any time soon. Why would I when there's still so much to experience?

I can only hope that soon you can come here and take part in the fun. I will warn you though, that once you do, you won't want to leave. This truly is the greatest city on Earth.

Warmest regards,

Huang
