Subject: regarding my adorable yorkies for adoption
MY NAME IS VERA THOMAS, I AND MY HUSBAND ARE ON A
CHRISTIAN MISSION TO AFRICA AND I CAME ALONG WITH MY
PUPPY.
AFTER A WHILE I NOTICE THAT THE AFRICAN WEATHER IS
NOT GOOD FOR THE PUPPY (YORKIE) AND I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO TAKE GOOD
CARE OF HER THE WAY I ALWAYS DO BECAUSE OF MY JOB. I NEED A SOMEONE TO
ADOPT HER AND TAKE CARE OF HER THE WAY I ALWAYS DO. IF YOU CAN TAKE GOOD
CARE OF HER DO SEND A REPLY AND I WILL EMAIL YOU HER PICTURES.
I HOPE TO READ FROM YOU.
REGARDS,
MRS VERA
