Dear Jo: Readers' letters: Help engineer a break for the boys..; FORCES' PENPALS.ON A lonely coffee break out in Kosovo we were flicking through The Mirror and saw requests from people in the forces for pen pals. What a stroke of luck as we too were thinking of trying to drum up some correspondence. Could you help us out? We're a couple of good-looking lads serving with the Royal Engineers and we've just started a six-month tour of duty. Are there any ladies out there who want to write to us?
