thank you! But you have missed one part " from [some country]". But it looks like you are going to suggest "你好，我是 Ivan Gerasimenko你的俄罗斯朋友。" 是吗?

"sports" may be a more common term, therefore sporting or sports friend may be more common,

What is the point of starting a letter with a Chinese sentence if you don't know Chinese? To impress your friend? of what? If I was that friend of yours, and knew you don't speak Chinese, I would expect you to write me in English.

If this sport is related to football, basketball, volleyball, golf, billiards, pingpong, tennis, badminton, or any other sports end with Chinese character 球, just simply put 我是你的xx (your nationality) 球友 yy (your name). More specifically if you play in pair for quite a long time, you could replace 球友 with 球搭子.

# How to start a letter with self introduction to a friend you haven't seen for ages?

(Asked by: username_0 on 2017-10-26)

I'd like to write a letter to a friend I haven't seen for ages. And it would be nice to remind who I am because I am not sure my name is just enough.

So I'd like to write the next sentence:

> This is your sports friend Xxxxx from [some country] writing to you.

Word order does not matter, the main purpose is clear chinese language to address to a friend.
