Hello Amanda,

I am touched by your e-mail. I want to help you any way I can. How are you doing today? What is the weather like where you are? It is really nice here... around 70 degrees and mostly sunny with the winds out of the north about 20 - 25 mph. I really enjoy nice weather. I have a dog named Spanky that I like to take on walks... but don’t' worry, I always pick up his droppings!

Anyways, enough about boring old me... let's talk more about you. What kind of school are you interested in? do you have a place to stay once you arrive here in America? I could probably find you a place to stay if you want.

Also, I was wondering if you could send me a picture of yourself... I would love to know what you look like. I bet you're pretty. I once had a pet monkey named Peter... he was funny. Do you have any pets? You could buy a lot of monkeys with all that money! Maybe we could start a monkey farm! Would you be interested in that? I could find some land to buy... and some cages. I have a friend who makes monkey cages.... well, he used to.. now he's retired. But I bet I could get him out of retirement for us. What do you want to call our monkey farm? How about "Amanda and Peter's Farm of Monkeys".... I like that name... do you?

Well, I hope to hear from you soon. I'm really excited about our monkey farm. It's been a dream of mine for a long time. I have other dreams too, but we probably shouldn’t talk about those right now... I have a friend named Jeremy and he wants to buy a goat... can we share some of our money with him? I know he would take really good care of that goat.. he's a really nice guy. The other day I locked my keys in my car and he threw a brick at the window and busted it out for me.. then he got my keys out for me.. friends like that make this world nice.. do you want his e-mail address? I'm sure he's always looking for a new friend. Sometimes he wets the bed... but that's ok... we all do strange things... don’t tell him that I told you about that... he's embarrassed about it... I know he will stop soon.

Ok... bye Amanda. Thanks again for e-mailing me. I'm excited about this.

Your new friend



My Dearest Amanda,
I haven’t heard from you yet and I'm a bit worried. Is everything ok? Did you find someone else to help you? I want you to know that I didn’t sleep very well last night... all I could think about was you and our monkey farm... I know that might sound crazy, but when you're in love with someone you say crazy things.. wow... yeah, I said it... I think I'm in love with you. I know I've only known you 1 day, but I really feel a connection. Do you feel it too? I hope I don’t scare you off... please don’t think I'm weird... it's just that... you're really special to me..

Anyways.. write me back baby..





Dear Amanda,

It's been 2 days and I still have not heard from you... are you mad at me? Did I do something wrong? I don’t want this to end... what we have is too special to just forget about... can I come see you? Please give me your address and phone number... I can be on the next flight to Abidjan, Ivory Coast... please baby, give me another chance... I'll change, I swear! I've never felt this way about someone... what we have is so special... my heart aches for you... please write back... I'll do whatever you want me to...

-missing you....

LMAO

Now THAT is beating them at their own game:)

I've got so many supposedly foreign emails wanting to send me money "for safe keeping". I also won the German lottery about 6 months ago :)

That is absolutely hysterical!! I used to get IMs in yahoo chat all the time from these idiots who wanted help in cashing a check because where they were it was too difficult to cash a check in US funds...yeah right!! At the time I had a boot program and would set it off just flooding them with IM's. A couple times I forgot about it and would send over 80,000 instant messages which would keep them locked up for hours. There are days I wish I still had that program LMAO I'm going to have to try your method though...that looks like it could be fun!!

I like messing with mormons...if I see them walk up the drive I strip naked (except for my pentacle) and put on my cloak...light incense and meet them at the door with my wand and my broom...7th day adventists too are fun to mess with...I particularly like the geriatric ones cos my big english pointer has such a vicious bark its kinda fun to watch them break speed records with their zimmer frames  :oh yeah:
