I think G0dwin 4piah is going to be fun.

Under the heading, Dear Sir (to Cammy, yet), was this (emphasis added)

Quote:

i got your contact when i was searching for an overseas partner and i prayed over it and decided to be in partnership with you provided that you will not betray me at the end of this business.

I laid my hands into this business because of the situation of things with me,i have worked with this bank for over 12years,i still earn peanut as my monthly salary and i will be going on retirement pretty soon.Please find a place in your heart to assist me for the benefit of our families.

Cammy wasn't impressed:

Quote:

I am not "Sir"! By Freyja's tears - not even my father would have been cruel enough to call a boy "Camille"!
And what religion are you?

Standard stuff - but this wasn't:

Quote:

I AM SORRY FOR QUOTING HIGHER ABOVE YOUR AGE AS YOU STATED BUT, I THINK IT IS NORMAL TO ADDRESS YOU AS SIR.
I AM FROM TARKAW BRANCH IN WESTERN REGION OF GHANA.

Quote:

I'm confused. I wasn't talking about my age, but that I'm a woman! And I asked about your religion - not where you're from.

Will he get the point this time? Watch this space.

Could be valuable intel into the culture of the TARKAW BRANCH! Title based on age. It is intereesting how the lad just blurted out what "branch" he bleonged to. You should see what else you can get out of the good little soldier who responds nicely to little slaps Twisted Evil

Cammy got the apology she wanted:

Quote:

I AM TRULY SORRY FOR QUOTING YOUR GENDER WRONG,PLEASE FORGIVE ME IT IS NOT INTENTIONAL.

However:

Quote:

I AM A CHRISTIAN,IF YOU CAN RVIEW MY PREVIOUS MESSAGE TO YOU,I STATED MY RELIGION.

No he didn't! However, Cammy is going to press for more details on the "Tarkaw Branch" of Christianity, and wonder if it's Mormonism (ISRC they refer to church districts as "stakes").
