Melissa Lewis: I am not what I once was

Hello, I am Miss Young. I received the following email. It is a socalled "Advance Fee Fraud" letter, where I am invited to a conference that does not exist. These stories are all lies, and if I respond, sooner or later I will be asked to pay a fee. If I pay, another fee will quickly come up, and it will continue that way until I give up or run out of money. I will not get to the conference, because it never existed.

If you received a similar email, you should go to the homepage to read more about 419 fraud.

Objet : Hai Dear,

Hai ,

I have the feeling that this piece of mail will reach you in a perfect state of
mind and in a better healthy condition.While searching through the net,I came
across your contact address and decided to contact you.I believe and also have
the feeling that in today's

world,neither race,age,nationality nor religion will any longer posse a barrier
to male/female relationships.

Although,we do not know each other well but I will really like to have you as a
friend or pen pal if that is better for you.I am a single lady of 25years
old,currently studying international relations at the University of California
Los Angeles (UCLA),a citizen of the United States of America residing in Los
Angeles with my parents,brothers and sisters.

Presently,I am doing my final year in the University and so anxious to graduate
from the University into the free world. While I hope to hear from you soon,I
also look forward to receiving some information concerning you,your
family,country and even your personal life experiences.This will give us the
opportunity of knowing each other better and be able to understand ourselves
more.May God bless you as I wait to hear from you soon

Thanks.
Yours,
Melissa

Hello Dear

I think you deserve the best of compliments not from me alone but any body who seems to have had contact with you,how are you doing my Dear,and your family?I believe you are safe cos the Almighty God is your refuge and fortress.

Thanks for your mail and healthy introduction sent to me,it is my pleasure meeting you as well and I pray that we develop a healthy and lovely relationship acceptable to both of us in the future.

I know one thing and believe strongly what the word of God says.-"And we know that God causes all things to works together for good for those who love God,to those who are called according to his purpose." Romans 8:28.

True friendship develops out of dedication,love,devotion,and giving.As human as i am,i can't say I'm perfect but i believe with my little qualities of endurance,faithfulness and reliability,i know you have someone you can lean on.

I am someone who don't give up in life.I always believe that with God on my winning side,i will always be successful not matter the conditions i am going through,Perfect happiness even in memory isn't common.that's why my happiness does not dwell on the multitudes of friends but the worth of the few and in a special case,i wish you the brightest of good luck

Hmm,I'm someone who loves challenges and adventures in life but very tactful and principled in everything i do.I'm conscious of myself and always make sure i don't lose focus and track in any move that i make.Presently,i am aiming at building my capacity in order to grab my life-long vision.It's been my greatest desire to be a philanthropist in life.

I hope this relationship will yield the greatest result in a positive manner and i believe that time will serve as a springboard to catapult us to the next level,the level i love us to reach in this relationship,where we will understand how real we are to each other,how affectionately each other looks

Attached to this mail are my picture.I snapped it after a busy lecture day,the person beside me is Sandra my sister,You can open them with windows picture and fax viewer and any picture software on your PC,
