Have you ever had one of those crazy e-mails from god knows where around the world, from a total stranger telling you how that, even though you havent met, your paths had been crossed by destiny a long time ago. And that they feel after spending all of 30 seconds browsing your picture on the internet that they believe its time to pack up and head over to be with you for the rest of their lives.
And more importantly, does anyone ever fall for it?
now you may indulge them for a laugh, as i’ve done in the past, but it soon gets down to the nitty gritty and you’re being asked to put some money into a bank account or arrange to send some money out. Are these people mental?
Its time we turned the tables and played them at their own game.
I decided to take one of these emails up on their offer and sent my reply.
I’m not sure how far away Senegal is, but i still havent heard anything back from dear old Helen.
ENJOY………………………….
