Dearest One ,
it is with great joy and enthusiasm that I write you this mail which I know and believe by faith that it must surely find you in good condition of health. I thank God that I have come across you and I hope you will spare some of your valuable minutes to read following appeal with sympathetic mind. My name is Moyen Comoe. I am 19 years old. I am from Dablama in eastern province of Sierra Leone. I lived with my mother in Freetown before the civil war started. An explosion in our school made me lose my hearing during the civil war. My mother told me that my father left us when I was two years old. I became an orphan last year when my mother died after illness from liver infection.
I received a letter from Ivory Coast from a PRIVATE SECURITY DEPOSIT FIRM, and the contents of that letter put me into shock. Apparently My late father, had provided for us afterall! My father Leon Basile Comoe was in the neighbouring country doing very well in ivory and pine apple trade. He was a major investor in properties and shares in Ivory Coast. He had sold some of his assets and his shares he bought, worth about 3 Million USD,and left it in my name; over time.The letter also explained that according to the terms and agreement reached with my late father, the consignments were to be delivered to me (THE BENEFICIARY) one calendar year after his death.He has been dead for over eighteen months now.The manager of this firm in his letter apologized to me for waiting so long to contact me; information of my father's death simply did not reach him earlier. I was then invited to come forward to Ivory Coast , to claim my Inheritance or arrange with them to transfer the money to my designated area.
Because of the security problem and my disability, it will be highly risky for me to handle this matter alone so I am seeking the help of a well meaning person like you to assist me kindly. I desperately need your help. I need you to contact the Ivory Coast Security Deposit firm on my behalf as the "CONSIGNEE"; secure the money and arrange the transfer of the money to you since the deposited money in a Security Deposit Firm is "READY TO SHIP". I am appealing to you in the name of God to help me provide a bank account so that I can transfer this money into and a safe place for me to move to after the transfer. I believe you are a reliable person that will not sit on the money and will provide a safe place where I can move to continue my studies. I promise to give you 30% of the total amount when the transfer is made. That will cover all your inconveniences for helping me.
I wait to hear from you soon, (*bleep*
Miss. Moyen Comoe

re: GD and Introductions - 9 - *bleep* the Romans!
I got one from JA46 a while ago. Would it be like one of those MSN bug things which inject viruses into your computer without the person even knowing they sent it?
re: GD and Introductions - 9 - *bleep* the Romans!
I got one from JA46 as well. You know those offers that you see sometimes about getting a free Ps3 or laptop or something? Well if you get about 10 people to sign up to one of the offers then you get a free item. That's what JA46's one was about, you see them all the time on ebay. Although he shouldn't have been doing that, naughty boy

I didn't know whether to post this up in the Master League thread or GD but here I go. I haven't played a ML is so long I think it been almost 6-8 months. I still play like at least four 15 minutes games a day. I guess if I didn't live in a dorm I would have started but right now its to easy to get a game against a real human. All I need to do is stick my head out my door and yell "Anyone want a game of Proevolution?" and someone comes running. Living in a dorm is great to get spontaneous games of PES, because beating a human is so much better than beating a comp, the taunting give it a different kind of flavor.

Went to the barbican today with my class; a spiggin' unreal trip, man; soooo massa.
We had the absolute priviledge of watching the London Symphony Orchestra play beautiful music to our ears.
And to top it all off, we, as part of the audience, performed a song as well!
All in all, a great day!
There was also some hot girl from another school (I think she was a TA as well, like me) and I couldn't stop staring at her enormous breasts. One of my kids noticed me looking at the girl and asked me why I was staring at her and I honestly had no idea what to say so I just said the first thiing that popped into my head; 'because she's well developed'.
Luckily, the kid has special educational needs so didn't understand what I said.
re: GD and Introductions - 9 - *bleep* the Romans!
'Well developed' Sounds like a good trip
I saw Linkin Park yesterday though so I'm intrigued whether they sound better than the London Symphony Orchestra. They must do a music battle at some point
