Subject: POSSIBLE SCAM FROM DON IN NEW ZEALAND IN RESPONSE TO ONE RECEIVED TODAY FROM U.
Hi Joe,I am including to you the last letter I have received from this lady Franca and perhaps its pattern [or patter] may well seem familiar to you.The only detail I have given to her is my full name and the first name of my son. She knows nothing else.Do you consider that is safe?Perhaps I should add i have received 3 pics of her at my request.I have been concerned enough to be checking my bank account more often in the last few days than I normally do.I wish to thank you sincerely for replying to me.Her page can be found on the NZDating webpage.Because of your statements i will no longer bother with her.........a bit sadly.regards,Don RobertsPS SEE BELOWMy Dearest Don, how are you today i hope you are fine, I am glad to see your letters and know your true feelings, I dont know if there are peoplethere who take people money on here, i am not about money here i am on here to find a special person who my heart goes out for and i told you i have a deep feeling that it is you, I am not concerned about money as it is not the first thing in a relationship,
Honey do not be offendedinmy short letters i kept them short because i have been having a busy week and less time to write long messages, Honey i think you are the one to write to my uncle, thatis how things are done here my uncle cannot write to you first it doesnt show that you really want me, i cannot tell my uncle to write to you first.
Dear there was an emergency here in our office today a young girl was rushed in she fell from a building and had her neck bone dislocated.
Honey thanks for the confidence and trust you have in me i do trust you too, i ambeing cutious too because a friend told me that there are many men out there who are only looking to playing games with womens heart and dumping them, i know you are not like this.
honey i really have to get beck to work now i will be hoping to hear from you soon,
love from
Franca.
