I would have posted this in surplus, but I'm too busy trying to figure out what the heck this is...Anyone seen this before? This was sent to a nonprofit org's primary address that has never been used in any guestbook or on any dating site (Of course it does get the standard assortment of 419's). Headers trace to Lagos, so I tend to think LAD, but I have not seen anything quite like this in a spam email.

Edit: I have not seen anything even remotely like this in a spam. Plenty of vlads with one-line intros, plenty of NOK, lottery, puppies for sale and assorted misc 419's, but never poetry. And I thought I was pretty aware.

Dearest,
I need a man I can call my own.

This sadness in me right now,
Is giving me pain in a way that I don't know how.
It's just that I'm alone with nobody,
My life sure is colorless.

I don't know why or what to do.
I just want my heart stop the bleed.
It hurts all over me again and again,
I hope somebody could lend me a helping hand.

An injury I have in my heart.
I wish somebody could repair its parts.
But nobody sure is with me right now,
I sat and pondered all alone,
Will I ever find a love of my own?

A love I can trust,
A love that's a must?
A love without the pain,
Such a love--Will I gain?

Will he hurt me too?
Just like the others do?
Will he cheat and lie,
Or will he hold me high?

Will he appreciate what I do?
Or will he laugh and say we're through?
Will I ever find Mr. Right?
Or will all love be a fight?

Will he always make me cry?
Or will he care and ask why?
Will he want me, as I want him?
Or will love, he just pretend?

I sat and pondered all alone,
Will I ever find a love of my own?

I need you especially now that I'm alone,
Please get back to me if you are single and real
Yours,
Caroline Albert

seems like a plain old love and romance scam. Quite a poet though..... Confused
