However this one is a peach *kerching*

Could be worse. I got called a "cute little young girl" (exact wording) when I sent The Vampire's magic goat-eating lad a picture of my irritatingly-cheerful teen character Megan. He seems to be making an extra effort to be nice to me now...

If anyone wants a go at this one, post yea or nay here and I'll start a thread in Hints and Tips.

This is the Lad's reply to Mal's first reponse:

Thank you very much for your response, I am sorry that my mail is confusing to you maybe because my English is not excellent, please pardon me, well I was trying to tell you that me and my mother are in Ghana and we have been able to retrive my some funds that my late left for me as a legacy, the funds were deposited in consignment boxes and we have managed to retrieve the consignments from the security comepay where the consignment were deposited.

The consignment trunk boxes are 4 in number and we have them with us, each of the boxes contains 5 million US dollar, this is my father lagacy passed to me as his heir, I and my mother have decided to travel out of Africa so that we can start a new life.

We are soliciting your help so that you can help us with a good and lucrative business plan that we will be profitable to us and you too, also I have been out of school for a long time now, I want for you to help me get a good international school where I can continue my sturdy.

We have a proble, the problem is that the trunk boxes are codified, it has code locks and we dont have the combination code to open the boxes, because of this I and my mother have contacted a Reverend Father in our Church so that he can help us get an expert who can open the consignments for us.

If you accept to help us out, please send me your telephoen number and you address so that we when we open the boxes we will also take money from inside so that we can arranger to come over to your countr, we will also arrange to send come money to you so that you can prepare an invitation for us to come over and also we will arrange to transfer the funds to you by western union or by diplomatic delivery.

In one of my baits, I keep getting called "uncle" ... and the lad keeps mentioning how her uncle is attempting to kill her. I find it sort of creepy as well. Ugh.

Who knew that iron rods could result in a huge amount of money?

I had one who started calling me "Mommy" after one reply. As my character was a maiden school teacher I had to give him a lecture about the proper forms of address.
