It's endlessly amusing to watch my inbox fill with clueless tripe. Most if not all of these messages are scam attempts anyway ...

I'm a black African man , I reside in the western part of Nigeria and I'm a true Christian man. I was born into a good christian home of seven children and I'm the 4th child in the family, in my family discipline and honesty are our watchword. I'm an industrial skill developer, that is I train people how to be self reliance. I've trained many youths in Nigeria and some part of Africa. I was badly hurt some years ago by a woman I really trust but she disappointed me.Now,I need a straight forward,honest, faithful and God fearing woman to be my heart. I pledge my 100% love for her and she will be happy for the rest of her life cos i will treat her like a queen. Kindly reply to this note as a matter of urgency to dotade76@yahoo.com.You can also reach me on +2348033950950. I really care Joseph

... a matter of urgency? Oh, and he'd like me to CALL him.

(please excuse me while I ROFL)

LOL .. maybe my pic makes me look DESPERATE.

That's it ~ I look so miserable and lonely in this picture, they assume I would jump at the chance they're offering me!! Here's another letter ..

By the way, my profile header says "PLEASE READ THE PROFILE."





Nice trick, this guy's saying he wants me to answer his yahoo address because he can't understand the site he emailed me on.


Ri-i-i-ight.


How did he ever manage to contact me?

??? .. okay, remember Mr."All About The Love?"

This made me stare. First of all, you saw that I eventually had to set him straight. So I have just received this response to that message:

Kim, Thanks for the mail.I feel so jealous and please tell the Man in your life that a friend said He has really captured a wonderful hearthrob. Have a wonderful day. Joleen
-----------------------------------------------------
*ahem* .. now that was well-covered, don't you think?
His 'friend' (or was it her friend? .. confused now) said my buddy here captured, blah blah blah, you read the rest. Joleen.
It's probably just that wannabe loverboy DIDN'T READ CAREFULLY, and to save face he figured he could make it look like a female friend of his was answering on his behalf ~ problem is it reads as if SHE is the jealous one.

.. or am I reading that wrong?
