Hey, i am Clare I am 24
I just saw your profile Just got into town Would like to make some new friends
message me
conakry
--
I email back with:
I honestly have no clue what you're talking about
---
They reply with:
Hi my new friend Im glad to see that you have decided to reply,I see it is very short letter. It is all right because you are astonished to get my letter. I want you to know that I have only good intentions and I have not any secrets. The thing is that I will work in your country for three months or so and I would like to meet a nice man to fall in love or just be closest friends.
... followed by like two pages of them telling me all about their life in Russia and some very frightening photos.
AHHH!!!
--
I have no idea who this person is, or why they want to meet me, or why they think I'm a MAN. I am very confused.
though... I wished them good luck.
Still... O.o

E-mail: Hi iam denis from uganda and iwant to be your friend and ithink iam lucky to get some one like you. please can you reply.
I've had many people e-mail me from Japan, India, some places from South America and Europe, being excited to talk to "A Canadian" (*giggle and roll eyes*). So I reply asking for his username and to not be shy to e-mail anytime if he has questions about Canada (because I'm such a good person).
His E-mail: actually iused my ,mothers name and lets start aserious friendship please.
I didn't know what to think of this. Still trying to be a nice Canadian (*giggle and roll eyes*) I reply "How old are you and where exactly do you live? Go to school?".
His E-mail: thanks for that yes igo to school and and ilive in the capital of uganda (I had to go on Wikapedia to find out the capitals name. It's Kampala) am 16 years of age and lets get started with our friendship you know most people write once but iwant us to be writing to each other every week and mind you icant afford to loose you (Ok. . . kind of creepy) am patient because one day iwill be able to meet you inyour country let me hope you will like me the bway ihave already started lovingyou. bye for now kisses and hugs and please reply. kiiiiiiiiiissssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

Oh, I know right? I'm not going to respond again. Ten to one it's a money scam, and if it isn't, well... O.o
they kept talking about how I should marry them so they could get their green card.
I'm really curious where they got my email though, the supposition I'm a man, and the idea that I live in the States.
but then, the interwebs defies all logic.
I'm just glad I didn't open this at work!

I didn't even know that Uganda was a country. Weird. I'm amazed I've gone this long without Spam and or creepy stalker dating letters. What with all the junk I sign up for.

LOL I laugh about it. I stopped e-mailing him and I never heard of him. Though I have this feeling he e-mailed once again before he stopped. I am not too sure. I laugh about it now.

I have never gotten a creepy letter like that, except when I got an email in Japanese, and I had no clue what it said. That could of been creepy, if I could read it. For all know it could have been a business letter.

Hey... have any of you noticed that the posting order is all out of whack? I have, also the board is weirdly stretched. I'm going to sleep and hopefully this will all resolve itself by morning

For all know it could have been a business letter. LOL, that would be bad if was like the most important e-mail on earth for that business and he wrote the wrong e-mail. I was getting personal e-mails from a Victoria who lives in Australia from Friends. I am Victoria.Lastname@namee-mail.com She was Victoria_samelastname@samee-mail.com People didn't know which was hers. I also learn she has her own business because she or someone signed her business up for something government or "we help first business" type ordeal. I kept getting e-mails from that government, course, business thing. It displayed her user name, address, phone number. EVERYTHING. I was afried they were going to start charging me since the e-mails wanted a payment or something. So I deleted her account and took her off the program.

I think these are just spam - we get them in work all the time (we suspect a former employee who left under bad circumstances may be responsible for giving them our addresses)...some of them are very strange and creepy indeed.

I got one once from some sort of girls gone wild site or something. The title of the letter was something like "15 of our Girls want to meet you".

xD Lol, those emails are amusing, if rather very creepy. I got a weird email once, I asked them who the hell they were and I never got a response. xD
