Never mind that I never signed up and won't ever need to, but anyway...
I thought I'd reply as an Indonesian named Kelana Pasir (kelana=wanderer, pasir=sander... wanderer sander... , getit?)

Here's my reply (in my poor Indonesian with supplemental help from kamus.net ; my apologies to any fluent speakers here, I know I'm rusty!) and rough translation:

Selamat pagi, Jennifer Brooks atau Kevin Powell!

Terima kasih untuk membiarkan saya memenangkan!
Dimana saya pergi untuk Green Card, terima kasih?
Kalau Ibu/Bapak mau foto paspor saya?

Terima kasih banyak sekali!

Sungguh-sungguh,
Kelana Pasir

Rough translation:

Good morning, Jennifer Brooks or Kevin Powell!

Thank you for letting me win!
Where do I go to get my Green Card, thank you?
When do you, maam or sir, want my passport photo?

Thank you very much!

Sincerely,
Wanderer Sander
(with the computer of a friend of mine, )

Even though I know the lads don't give a crap, I thought I should explain why my From: line doesn't match the name signing off in the email.
I don't expect this to go anywhere if I don't have Kelana learn at least a little English, but I thought it was an amusing start, at least... any thoughts?
