She will be as sweet as a flower for a little while. However, when the time is right, she will want to see you. She will really have to or she'll wither without you, without your hug and kisses, without your GENEROSITY. She'll book a plane (naturally, because she lives thousands and thousands of miles away from the love of her life --- how miserable! how cruel! how unjust!). But wait...she's poor and miserable. She barely has anything to eat. And on top of things, she has to take care of a dying grandmother. And her dog is sick too. Would you be so kind to help her, to send her the money for the plane ticket? There's always Western Union - fast transfer, no contracts and, more importantly...the money can be picked up by anyone (only an ID needed). You send the money, she gets it and then...BAM! The beautiful flower is a fat dude sitting at a computer in Nigeria, flirting electronically with those willing to empty their pockets in the name of true love.

I get a lot of e-mails like this one (+ those which let me know that I basically got rich overnight --- richer than any celebrity from Hollywood) and I sometimes reply to those that are interesting, just to see how far some people can go (on a different yahoo account, of course). I know a website where normal people like you and me play with these phishers to trick them and make them waste valuable time.

If I were you, I'd write her. I'd even ask for pictures. If she asked for money, I'd lie that I sent the money via Western Union and I 'd give her fake data. It would be really fun for you to post the entire correspondence on your blog.
