Lexidiem: Word of the Day

Received the following message from an apparent admirer here on Buzznet on Tuesday, 8/11/2009. Have had a number of messages from spammers and scammers over the years, especially to my Yahoo account, but this is the first of its type that I've personally received here. Some of you may be quite familiar with messages of this type, but to those who aren't, this one may prove to be a bit enlightening. The name has been changed for security reasons, but the rest is as I received it. Read on...

Well, that was certainly a fascinating proposal.
  
She says, "I have been out from school and been looking for a sincere person that I will trust and love." Well, isn't that what we all look for? Suddenly I'm reminded of the infamous me love you long time video clip from Stanley Kubrick's classic film Full Metal Jacket. But she goes on to explain about her evil uncles who are after her life to take away her inheritance, and now it's beginning to sound like an old black & white serial melodrama from The Perils of Pauline.
  
But then it gets interesting, as in this economy, "$15.7 million dollars in Cash" in any currency is nothing to sneeze at, as I'm sure that you'll agree.  And her plea for "the love and assistance" that she needs" along with her offer to enjoy her inheritance with me could be a tempting tidbit, even if it was only a portion of that money. Then again, one must realize that these scams are e-mailed by the thousands each day, so who know just how many others received this message yesterday.
 
This young lady does have a profile here on Buzznet, along with a photo posted, as you can see here, as long as it's left up. Maybe she's looking for this to be her new home on the 'Net. In any case, I'll obviously pass on her most generous offer and leave it open to others who may be more inclined to take her up on her proposition.  
 
Or maybe I'll just pass her message on to the fine folks at Ebola Monkey Man. They'll know exactly what to do.
