Seems like she put a fair bit of effort into that reply. So she might be genuine.

Thanks, that was good.

Dearest Owlhoot,

Great news has been recieved. I have been selected to carry on my nursing studies at a childrens hospital in Nigeria. It is a great opportunity for me to help little babies but the hospital has no funds to pay me....

You could forward it to HRH Prince Isaac Mbogo, who recently sent me the following mail;

Dear MTT,

I have been referred to you by business contacts who assure me that you are a most trustworthy and erudite man of your word. I am seeking assistance in the matter of recovering the inheritance of my family, the Royal Family of Nigeria, totalling over 500 million $US, much of which was stolen from us under a previous military government...

Perhaps she could offer Prince Mbogo local assistance?

Indeed Bagpuss, experience from my sample set of one, I would avoid like the plague unless you have a penchant for being asset stripped under our new, wonderful, nuLiebour-esque Fair™ marital laws. Once she sniffs an opportunity like that, her and her swarm of marital solicitor locusts will be all over you quicker than you can say Financial Dispute Resolution.

Not wishing to make a sweeping statement with racial undertones, avoid, avoid, avoid all eastern Europeans and Russians until pre-nups become requisite.

A tester mate of mine had a similar situation. Married some bird from Latvia/Lithuania(where-ever the hell she was from) got her up the duff, she scarpered with the kid and most of his assets.

Mind you, he is a tester so not the brightest of buttons.

Mind you, he is a tester so he's fertile, well endowed and irresistable to women.

Heh heh - I'm busy building up my funds again so I can renew my licence and CoE and start performing CAPs over Berkshire so I can carpet bomb the b1tch

A guy I know went for something similar a few years ago, way better than the above pic. She came over here and stayed with him for a few weeks, wowed the locals in Stornoway although that wouldn't be hard.

A couple of months after she goes back to Russia he goes over for a visit and is back 2 days later. He won't talk about it but seems he was picked up at the airport by gangsters demanding money etc, but he managed to get away.

Don't know if he ever followed up on the HIV test it was suggested he had.

The BBC reporter John Simpson was targetted in a similar way by the KGB. Letter from Prague - Travel tips and inspiration - British Airways High Life only with them it was to recruit him as a spy, rather than just for cash.

Thanks NotAllThere, that was an interesting read about John Simpson's escapades in Prague.
