My name is James “Ray” Ward. I am 50 years old. I have been on Georgia’s death row for 16 years.

My family has all but turned their backs on me.

I have no friends, which means no mail. I look for any one who would like to write and lift my spirits up a little.

It is hard for people to realize that a letter means so much. Mail is one of the few things I have to look forward to.

I love the outdoors, I enjoy fishing, hunting, rafting, canooing, waterskiing, NASCAR racing, exploring caves, hiking, camping.

Would you brighten up my days with a letter please?

James “Ray” Ward
