Seriously, this happens a lot, too.

Quote:

as the only son after the death of my father

Then, later in the email:

Quote:

Darling at the moment I leave this camp to live my normal life as a woman

Whoopsies!
Or maybe this is one of Total Wipeout's lads?

Either way it looks like you can set up a romance bait, I guess Smile

I've seen something similar with orphan baits. Here's an example.

In the initial email:

Quote:

I AM J0Y K0NE THE ONLY DAUGHTER OF LATE MR AND MRS. EMMANUEL K0NE...

But in the follow-up (emphasis added):

Quote:

... before the death of my late father, he advised me to look for a foriegn partner in any country of my choice where I can transfer this money, and he also told me that it is because of the bad Africa people here that he want me to leave in Abroad and invest this money for my future life as his only son.

I have to admit I missed that at first. Eventually I got round to asking about the sex change and s/he was very insulted. However, we then started arguing about someone called Tim.

^ The wizard Tim? Laughing

Edit: What disturbs me more is that she's called Joy Cone... that's highly suggestive...

The Tim bit was because:

Quote:

Now the bank are expecting that we this transfer will be transfered this week because tim is not on our side

Really?

Quote:

I have to ask though - who is Tim and why is he your enemy? Are you saying he's been sending me bad info? Well, he hasn't! Are we clear now?

Lad is confused:

Quote:

who is this Tim and what operation you are talking about because all you are saying is sounding strange to me.
If there is any person that contacted you, please kindly send me his or her infor so that i'll know who is that and why .I do not know any body here who is answering this Tim

Keep it going:

Quote:

You're losing it! I asked you about Tim, so don't throw it back at me! I have a right to know.

Now we're nicely off track:

Quote:

i do not understand what you are talking about and who the Tim is , I am telling you the gospel truth and if you want treat me in this way after laying all my hope on you, God will judge you over this, because if what you are saying the truth, explain to me how you come across this Tim or whatever he is.

Quote:

I don't KNOW who Tim is! I want YOU to tell ME what the hell is going on before you gorram well drive me over the edge into a Section Eight!

The Lad tries to get things under control:

Quote:

Please i do not know anybody answering Tim please try to understand me, If any body contacted you on my behalf , do not listen to them because it may be my uncle who is after me, i hpe i told you ealier that my uncle is after my life because of this fund.

Not going to work:

Quote:

I'm trying to be calm about this, but it ain't easy, and it's gorram obvious that you've crossed the bridge into La-la-land!
No-one has written to me claiming to be you, or acting for you. I don't know who Tim is, and if you don't know him, why bring him up at all?

The Tim thing ended up wasting a week - and all the while I was harping on the sex change issue.

Quote:

Everything was going fine to getting you papered up to come over here, but you had to try to hide your secret from me; bad idea, dude! Now we're trying to get your status settled, but like I said, you have to give some documentation to that effect.
The problem is, you haven't done it, and Brad [my other baiter persona] seems just about ready to take his bat and ball and NOT "go homo" (his words, not mine).

Quote:

Finally - are you going to send that letter to Brad M0rr1han? Remember, I don't want you messing this up - I don't care if you've had a sex change, but it has to be on the record!

And I kept calling him Joey rather than Joy.

You're an absolute master in turning futilities into big issues...

That's fantastic...

Another Lad(ette) from a while back messed it up in the opening letter, as per the OP (emphasis added):

Quote:

I am juliette kouaou the only daughter of late Dr Kouaou Daniel of blessed memory, who was the Director General of the Cocoa Export Corporation (C.E.C.) of Ivory Coast and was killed by rebel forces here in Ivory Coast few months ago.
As the only son of my late father before his death he informed me of the sum of US$8,000,000.00 (eight million US dollars) in a trunk box which he deposited with a Security & Finance Company here in Abidjan Cote d'Iviore. on my name as the next of kin.

My answers included phrases such as:

Quote:

OK - tell me about yourself, such as what you want to be (apart from a woman, I mean).

Quote:

I would have thought that being a doctor wouldn't appeal to you under the circumstances, but then who am I to argue?

Quote:

BTW, the passport pic ain't too bad. You must be happy with that.

But the Lad stopped writing and that was all...

This is the illustrious Gift Yak
I posted her initial script in the surplus forum.
Turns out her name isn't the only funny thing going for her.

iIt sounds as if they would do well as South African sprinters.

I've just started up with her!! What do I expect? Why exactly is she "illustrious"?

Posted: Thu Sep 24, 2009 7:01 am

@Thrylos7: Let me just state the obvious for you,
Her name is Gift Yak.

That's all it takes to be illustrious in my eyes.

Posted: Thu Sep 24, 2009 7:18 am

Okay, so I just checked on my little Yakky poo...
She's on her script like a chicken on a june bug, which has been a real edge of my seat thrill ride.
She's gone from sex-changing to pronoun diarrhea:

Quote:

Dear Sweet-Heart
How are you doing today and how is work? I hope he is okay.
Honey, I think of you every day and wish that are not far from
me..I send my love to you all to show how much we care for you.
Honey, if they marry later, we will invest the money
together or not marry me, I will give you 34% percent of the total amount of money for their kind assistance. Just send an email to the bank to formally introduce them as my foreign partner / representative.

I lost which person I am in there... And did anyone catch who she's marrying? Wait, she's not... they are...
