Mrs. Debbi3 Freeman! She's dying and wants my help. I replied that I have many rich Nigerian dying widows all needing my help, so I have to use a "first come, first served" method. I said if she could plead her case urgently, I might move her up to the head of the line.

I guess she thought it meant if she could say "My dear beloved (in Christ)" the most times, in one email, she would win. She replied with this. I think she did it!

Good approach, something that could evolve into baiting format. I would set some ground rules, like "no references to Jesus Christ."

This is reminiscent of the TV game show Queen for a Day that aired in the USA in the 50s and 60s. The format involved selection of three or four contestants (always women) to be interviewed on the air. In the interview each would trot out her story of financial woe and family calamity. The winner was the one whose desperation was most convincing and would be chosen by the audience through an "applause meter." She would be showered with an array of gifts tailored to her situation. Click here for more info. Extraordinarily bad taste but very popular in its day.

Heh...I remember Queen for a Day. Yes, very tacky indeed but no worse than the crap reality shows now.

I hate cancer widow lads so much I usually just send them a huge list I have saved of all the other dying widows and tell them to start a support group. That's normally the last I hear from the lad, but this one is persistant.

Maybe I'll give Mrs. Freeman a whirl and tell her to resend her most urgent letter, leaving out all references to Christ (good idea!) since I'm not a Christian and I'm offended.

So I used lakeside77's excellent idea and replied to "Debbie":

Dear ,

You have pled your case very eloquently and it is well understood that yours is a most urgent situation. Please allow me a few days to consider the circumstances and I promise I will get back to you and most probably assist you in a timely fashion.

I do have one small request and I hope you will understand. As I am not a Christian I am rather taken aback and a little offended by the constant references to Christ and the Christian bible in your email.

I sincerely and respectfully wish to help you make your desire and dream come true, but would you mind emailing me again and leaving out all references to Christian icons, deities and symbols of worship. This is very important to me and I do mean to offend, but this is necessary in my eyes.

With all due affection

So "she" did try, but couldn't help slipping in a few Christian references. Guess she'll have to try again!
