I saved my copy of the letter so if anyone wants the phone number, I can forward it to you. However, as Girl4you2 pointed out, the bank may already have the money, but you never know. Bureacrasies work slowly. The money might still be in the bank waiting for a lost relative from northeast Ohio. I would not give up hope yet.

Oh yeah, I should also mention that the woman who sent me the email wanted to have a personel relationship with me when the money is finally obtained from the bank. I just want to make sure that if someone decides to help out this poor woman, you don't interfere with any relationship she might want to have with me.

so you mean iffin i gives her my bank account information, you get to have the relationship with her. that is just wrong.

it's amazing how bureaucracies can speed up their effectiveness when it comes to affairs of getting to keep money. do you still get the girl?

TRUE STORY:

Recalibrate your bullshit detectors to pay special attention to alleged babes seeking financial assistance (or trying to sell you something) - there's a reason why men are targeted and it's probably NOT because word of your sexual prowess or desirability has made it to the grapevine....

Focus.

um...you're so devilishly handsome, and well, i've this cute little ole bridge that you can invest in that will make it ever so much easier for you to get to the mainland of the u.s....

After taking a squiz at your profile, I'm not sure if my detectors should be redlining or word of my prowess finally has made it to the grapevine! Better go with the latter 'cause it's greatly deserved and longgggg overdue! lol

Focus.

um...i'm not sure how to answer this one, so i'll just keep smiling sweetly and say, "yes, Sir!"

edited to add note to self: check back on posts made more regularly!
