The D! Awesome town, which area? I lived in Windsor for 5 years, right on the water (riverside drive) waking up to views of the Joe each morning!

It's not a scam. I'm sitting in the cell next to Bob. I give you my word as a Nigerian Prince. Please help!

Oh, and if you do, I'll send you 10 million pounds Sterling once I get out. Trust me. More importantly, trust Bob.

I believe you. Tell Bob to share my credit card and checking info with you. I moved some funds from my off-shore accounts into my checking for you guys. I hope a few hundred k's will help out.

Thanks, every little bit helps. Unfortunately Bob said he misplaced your information, even though the cell we are in is only a 3 foot square. Please resend and hurry for obvious reasons.

I want to raise all of the money I can to help Bob. All of the profits from selling my tank collection will go to a rescue fund for Bob. Each tank will be offered for only $5,000 (cash, no checks)
Thanks,
Bob Ross.

The downside of this compromise is that I got a bogus email from someone named Larry Smith email ([email protected]) about a check of 100,000 in my name... and it used my real name not just my email. It referred me to an email contact in France [email protected] This is not good. It was done in the same font set as yesterdays email.

WELL... I am very flattered to know I have so many friends looking out for my good will....LOL. Thank you ALL.

I was out all day Friday upstate NY and NOT in the Philippines giving thieves target practice. My email has been repass-worded and hope while is did provide amusement for many, that I cause none of you any hardship.

Not far from 275 & 96. Western Wayne county. I see the river a lot, though, as I have buds not far from the bridge. Livernois & Fort. Where are you now?

I'm staying at the Hyatt Regency, but I'll monitor this email for your reply."

That might start something. What the heck.. I don't have anything better to do.

Some poor innocent shlub at the Hyatt Regency in Manila is getting mugged tonight....sorry pal.

I already set up another email address Martin. Thanks

I am sure the change-over will take a while. I will release it soon.
