Okay, I’ve gotten this or almost this letter before and deleted it. Just got this one and started to delete but it’s just too much to be real. I think… If he is for real he must have huge balls… Or huge somethings… So here it is with names left in but all contact info removed:

Hi

This is a legitimate appeal for ladies only.
You will find my contact at the end of this message.

I’m an Italian guy,I live in Italy and my name is Paolo.I live in Roma.
I’m sending this message to the people because I’m bored to live in Italy,I’m looking for a lady what could invite me in usa.I seek a rich american lady who desires a young guy for marriage.
I’m serious and I’m not here for playing.I don’t seek a rich woman because I want she buys me an expensive car ,luxury jewels,watches…….I don’t seek this.
I seek her love….I’m a simple person..I just would be happy to stay there with her instead of here.

I would love to find a wealthy lady who lives in one of the following places in usa or nearby:
1) “The treasure coast”,I mean north east Broward County or east Palm Beach county(FLORIDA)
2)Honolulu (Hawaii)
3)Santa Barbara,Montecito,Bel Air,Beverly Hills,Encino or San Luis Obispo(California)
4)Reno(Nevada)
5)Las Vegas(nevada)
6)Atlanta(georgia)
7)Jupiter,Stuart,Coral Springs,Jensen Beach,Boynton Beach,Deepwater,Hutchinson
Island or Miami(Florida)

Considering that I like the mature women, I’d love to find a lady of 45-60yo age range.
I’d love to find a gentle long haired lady who is bisexual,openminded and lives in a swimming pool house near the sea (as I like to swim) .
I seek a lady without young or old children,a no smoker lady who could be widowed,separated,single ,divorced.

With this I’m not saying that I want a millionaires,if there’s one that’s ok but I just seek a rich woman and I
think that she would be happy with me but I would need a sugarmamma figure at the beginning .

Here in Italy I don’t have a good future because there’s the
recession,the down swing causated by our new money,the euro and
also causated by our government that is not able to give a higher
salary to the people:
now our salaries value the half and the prices of the things are
almost the double.Here in Italy my life is in danger because is getting
always more difficult to survive as there’s no job for me here.

Considering that I’m around 30 yo now and I haven’t found nothing good to do in this country,now
I seek a better future abroad and I would love to find a good woman.

Considering that I know that In usa there are more opportunities for me,
I’m here because I’m looking for a soulmate- sugarmamma in USA to have a dolce vita with her.

I seek a woman that figures out of the years,looks young and feels young :
it’s not a problem if she’s not beautiful because she should be beautiful inside and most of all ,she should desire a younger soulmate.(She could be overweight too)
The thing I desire is to fix a serious stable relationship with a lady who gives me the opportunity to have a better life.

ABOUT ME:

I have long black hair,my weight is 65 kilos(145 lbs) and my height is about 1.80 metres(5.11)…
I’m no smoker /drinker and I’m good looking.

If you could be the kind of woman I’m looking for, write me soon please!!

I’m here because I need help and I’m not a joke because it wouldn’t have sense.

Thank you very much for reading my letter .
I think there must be a woman for me out there.

Cheers

Paolo Serri-Italy

Just got the following email from someone who seems to be spamming for God or at least trying to line his own pockets by spamming in the name of God… My comments are in Bold

From: Omitted
Subject: Following up to see if I can assist you in your Ministry
Date: May 24, 2005 7:06:29 AM CDT
To: Omitted

Hello Again,

This is Bob Omitted with Omitted.

I was searching through Google.com, and found you at the website.

Which one? Don’t think you did as my email address isn’t on a church site that I am aware of. Could you be using a spammer’s list?

I previously introduced myself to you and offered my services
to your Church or Ministry.

Good try but I don’t think so. Bet you learned that line in spammer skool.

I am in the business of helping Ministries move to the Internet,
or go further than they already are now in their web presence.

Sounds like you are in the business of moving money from others pockets to your own. But I’m sure there is a market there. Just a spammer for god…

My specialty is helping Ministries to send email to their
readership, members and web mailing list members. Many Churches &
Ministries call this a Monthly Newsletter.

If the folks are actually subscribed that is what it’s called. Most other folks call it SPAM.

I have automated mailing systems that I use to mail.

Spam software?

I use my own servers and software and have the expertise to help
you to launch or further your Internet Based Ministry Presence.

I offer reasonable fees so I can assist as many of you that want
to reach your members, readers and even the lost.

$$$ in the bank eh? Note the “even the lost”. Now if they are subscribed to the newsletter they wouldn’t be lost would they. So you must be sending this stuff to folks other than ones on the list. Like me…

I offer these services:

– Automated Email Sending (CanSpam compliant)
– Website Building and Programming
– Website Hosting and Search Engine Optimization
– Almost anything Internet Related

I work with another Ministry that sends out a daily devotion
every Mon. – Fri. They have grown from 3,000 to 34,000 readers in
2 years using my system.

Thanks for reading and if I can offer my services to you,
Please call me or email me and I will call you back.

If we are working together now and I am resending this to you,
please forgive me. If you have a question or are waiting for a
reply, this can serve as a reminder!

Thanks and God Bless,
Bob Omitted

P.S. I also offer my services to Businesses and Individuals

Spam for whoever pays, eh?

Didn’t want to hear from you the first time and see no reason to have to click a link to never hear from you again so am adding this and any further missives from you to my blog so I can help you further your “SPAM ministry”.

The Huffington Post | The Blog
“I don’t want [Maher] prosecuted,” Bacchus said. “I just want him off the air.”

No voice against the war can be heard without a Republican jumping up and down and screaming we need MORE censorship. Our (the us of a) founding fathers would be up in arms against this pitiful excuse of an administration, were they or their sprit still with us today. Nuff said…

John Battelle’s Searchblog: Jobs On Suing Bloggers

Job’s attitude on this sucks!

As the loyal reader(s?) may know, I tend to vote with my money, so when news of this first came out I backed off on any new mac related purchases till it was settled.

Still not buying any new mac related stuff due to the Job’s attitude zone. Had bought 2 new iBooks in the year previous too. No Tiger for me yet and maybe never. Still trying to make up my mind on this one. Could be I break down and buy a copy or I may just switch back to linux.

I really do like the design of OS X but I despise the course that Apple Legal has taken in the past few months. Enough rambling I guess. Just pisses me off to be mired in the IP wars yet again…

I expect this site to get /.ed real quick.

This is both interesting and really weird at the same time. The one question I keep asking though is: Why?
