Well, I just got another one and this girl (or whoever) couldn't even spell her name the same way twice in her first email.
Notice how I introduce two fictional characters right away this time. Antagonists on the get go.
I'm not going to draw this one out. I'm going to get real freaky on her from the start.

Wow, you're beautiful. Maybe we could have a drink sometime soon and if we hit if off I'd love to show you my ranch. I built a tree house in the ocean view area that sleeps 12 and has a nicely stocked bar and a Jacuzzi. Well, I should say I actually had it built by the same builder that built my house in Argentina,
I do sort of have a couple of girlfriends right now but one isn�t into sex (Jill),and that's hard to deal with, And the other one (Shelby) is bisexual and is always bringing other girls home with her. I' mean it's fun sometimes...but it would be nice to just have a normal relationship...know what I mean?
Tell me all about yourself and send more photos...okay?

Preface:
Well, she bit. I thought she might not because of the two girl friends and the tree house with the Jacuzzi. There was a tad bit of doubt in my mind about her being a scammer but it has all been removed. The name and no mention of where I am in the first email was a pretty good indicator. Now, she once again does not mention where I am. She has no idea what�s brand of karma is going to lasso her and stick her into the chaos coral. All the photos she sent today were modified today and no camera properties showed up. So she�s most certainly not lifting the pic s�it could even be her,
The irony certainly doesn�t escape me of her being photographed with her friend �Kate� who was a fictional character in the last saga that many of us became rather fond of. Due to excellent characterization skills, but of course, but I miss her, we were going to get married. And now it can�t happen in this story because of this stupid witch�s friend K A T E�it�s not fair I tell you.
As, stated, I�m not about to draw this one out like last time; it was like a full time job. However, , I think I can get her wound up pretty tight. Another thing I�m not going to try and do this time is to catch her. These people have too many safe guards built-in.
What I am going to do is make it suspenseful, entertaining and funny, I�m going to push the envelope hard and fast but maintain a stream of logic that she will have to give the benefit of the doubt to.
Speaking on pushing the envelope, I hope I don�t offend anyone with what I�m going to reveal about myself to her in this first letter. Its about my anatomy and I will articulate it in the most tactful way possible. This could actually get rid of her which is fine with me.
Oh, as you will read, her father recently died. I am sure when the scam surfaces that will be key
Her second letter to me:

Hello Jay,
I am so happy you wrote back to me well i know what you meant by having a normal relationship and that why i am here to and that �s why I will really like to get to know you better but i will like to tell you little things about me ...I am Jane Douglas by name 26 years old and I hail from UK i live with my Mom because I just lost my dad, i am single and never married but i am seeking for MR RIGHT that we can build up a long term relationship that may lead to marriage ..My aim on the Internet is to see if i have some luck on the Internet and i must let you know that age diffrences does not matter to me all i want here is a loving caring loyal faithful and a wounderful guy that will bring happiness into my world ...I own a small clothing store which i manage to help myself and my mom i hail from a very good family infact a very good christian..I am mentally and emotionally sound, very honest, extremely loyal, caring, affectionate, passionate,romantic, mellow, simple, sensitive, sentimental, reserved, somewhat traditional, and can be active or passive depending on the environment,My life is simple and drama-free and I hope yours is too, I am warm, funny, generous, smart and fun to be around..
My hobbies are Fishing, Bowling, Computer/Internet, Golfing, Hiking, and of course everything to do with the BEACH,Going to beach, swimming, walks on the beach/mountains,and i also like going to Concerts, Live Theater, Movies, Watching Video, live musical,I love Cooking alot,I like Chinese, Japanese, and Thai food made with seafood but being from Hawaii where the culture is very diversed we learned to eat lots of other ethnic food,Hawaiian, Pacific Rim, Italian, French, Vietnamese, Japanese, Mexcian, Southern, Cajun,At times I like to cook some big meals and invite some friends. Normally, I'll make something small for my meals (sandwiches/soup, noodles, etc.)..I also like staying in doors and listening to music,I like all types on music. Pop, worhsip,gospel,Oldies but Goodies, Classical, Country, Jazz, Hawaiian and many other type of music. I enjoy the words and melody of the music more than the type..
I am a lady of my words and i just started this internet dating like i have told you and i am really serious in searching for my real life partner and not ready for head Games I have the faith that i am going to meet the right guy for me so i will like us to keep this Communication between us so strong i will really like to get to know all about you and see what comes up at the end we might be soul mate well time will tell...like i told you I am a honest, caring, fun loving, thoughtful,faithful very religious{a Christian},loyal,humble,easy going and also romantic, and kind person. Integrity is my most important asset. Be true to yourself and treat everyone with fairest, and kindness. I believe that a man and woman must be honest with each other, learn to trust and believe in each other, learn to compromise, and most important is communications. I mean that both must be able to listen and understand what the other one is trying to say. By having these things LOVE and Happiness will be a natural occurrence for both. This is my belief in what a true relationship between me and my special someone will be. Life is great only if you share and experience it together. I hope the Distance between us does not Bother you ??
I guess I've said a lot and I hope you understand the kind of person that I am. I know that it seems like a resume but I feel its the best way to tell you about who I am. There is more to learn about me but these are some of the highlights. What do you think? Did I forget anything? Just ask and I tell you all. What about you?

I look forward to hear from you soon

My response
From: "Jay " <[email protected]>Add sender to Contacts To: "Janes Douglas" <@gmail.com>Jane,
You won�t believe this but I was just thinking about you when I was walking up the stairs to check my email. I thought I might not hear\ back from you after telling you about my somewhat unconventional arrangement with Shelby and Jill. I�m pretty liberal and I just believe in honesty and integrity .
I am SO glad you wrote .I mean, I�m not so sure why as we don�t know each other or anything. I just get a good vibe from your emails. Funny? Uh?
And my gosh, we like all the same things! It�s uncanny:. I could have wrote your letter myself describing what I like�.REALLY! If it wasn�t true I wouldn�t say so.
There is so much deceit and dishonesty in this world, I just don�t understand; I mean really can�t process it. How can so many people live with themselves when they are cheating other people and doing dirty business deals, and stealing. Do you know what I mean? I hope so because that is the first thing I look for in a potential mate. Do you feel the ame?
Okay, about me. I may ramble on awhile becsaue there is something very personal have to tell you and I�m not looking forward to it. But something tells me we will meet (I like you r pics by the way) and I won�t be able to sleep if I don�t get it out of the way.. Don�t worry �I�m not a murderer or anything�I�ll get to it.
Well, I�m in my 40s, in good shape, have all my hair and feel like I�m twenty. I�m on Shelby �s laptop right now and I don�t want to dig through her pics to find one of me, but , I�ll do that later.
I was fortunate enough to sell my companies and retire at 38., but it seems I�m busier than ever. Speaking of, Bones, will be here any minute to discuss some kind of mumbo jumbo banking business that I don�t have a clue about. Oh, Bones is my lawyer, accountant and best friend .He�s a real character .He treats me like a child sometimes though�all because I bought an expensive piece of art one time without running it by him so he could have someone chck it out ... boring story. But anyway I turst him like a brother and he watches after my finanaces like an owl with glasses.
Anyway, after our meetimng Jill, Bones and I are headed out for a nice dinner. WHOA!! I just had a weird thought. As I was writing that, I wished you were coming to dinner with us�and I don�t even know you hardly. You�re for real...right? I think so, the vibe I get from you is too strong, but I�ve been wrong before
Shelby �s not here, she�s probably at Banana Max�s for happy hour. That girl can party I tell you. Sometimes I worry about her especially when she drives that goddamn corvette drunk. I should take it away from her and hide the damn keys. Can you tell I�m rambling?
Oh, and Jill is just he opposite. She just likes to sip tea by the pool and read and do her art work. She�s very good. God, sometimes I think she�s going to blow away she�s so tiny. But I always tell her that her big blue eyes weigh her down.
Well, what else can I tell you? I travel a lot. Speaking off, this world isn�t all that small. What town do you live in in the UK ? Be sure and tell me; I might have been there.
Well the doorbell rang , that would be the Bones man. He�ll head straight for the bar and pour himself a scotch so I have a least a minute or two.
What I wanted to get over telling you, albeit so delicate, and quite frankly ,unheard of in conversation has to do with my anatomy. I learned along time ago just to get it out in the open as soon as possible with anyone who may be gravitating towards a romantic relationship with me, Because what I speak of jus tdoesn�t work with some girls�let me be more direct/.
Damn this is hard to talk about on email. OK�let me just get on with it in as few words as possible. You know I told you Jill doesn�t like sex? Well, she does; it�s just impossible \with me. I�m not bragging; I wish I was, but it goes far beyond that. OK. Let me be clear: there�s average, above average, large, well-endowed�porn material�and then, there is me�Okay I said it, I hated to, but I had to.. After the fifth girl I was with sprinted out of the room screaming like mad just from seeing it, I had to start doing things differently..
I found a surgeon in Boston that would do a reduction on it and Jill and I were going to get married, but she wouldn�t let me o it.
Enough-- No more shocks, I promise you. By the way, I hope you don�t mind me saying this, but you look pretty sturdy in that bikini in the photos. That�s my favorite color too.
I hear ice rattling; I�ve got to go to dinner. We�re eating at this real nice Italian place tonight.
Well, you know more about me that you thought you would in a million years. I�m sorry about that; it�s just the only thing I know to do and it eats me alive if don�t get it out of the way�so there! Now, you owe me something personal about yourself if you dare to accept the mission, but if it�s the same thing�DON�T WRITE BACK!!!!
Be sure and tell me what town you live in the UK and I hope you write back real soon�LIKE RIGHT NOW!!! So I can hopefully be at ease with my odd revelation.
Cheers,
Jay |

Wow, she was really pushing the Christian thing in her email, which I found funny because she tried to tailor her taste to pretty universal tastes, such as her food and music, to rope in any guy from any place.
Why would she do that: make her religion a most important detail? |

Judging by the pic of her sun tanning, is she an Australian Aboriginal? |
