Dearest Love,
I am more than happy of your reply to my mail the site i first contacted you for a sincere relationship.
How is your day today, My name is Miss grace, single and never been married, i am from Sudan in East Africa, 25 yrs, at earlier i was residing in Darfur,s refugee camp in Chad on January 2005, at a time, there is a division and dispatch of some of the refugees due to the over population of the people in Chad, i was taken to Togo Lome West African on 10th August 2006 where I'm presently residing in N'dioum refugee camp here in TOGO where i am seeking political asylum due to the civil war in my country. I am in suffering and pains here in this camp and i really need to have a man by my side to encourage me and give me good advice in life and help me to come out from this situation.My late father Dr Sam Nathan Mbarote was the Industrial Managing director of (MBAROTE AND INDUSTRIAL COMPANY LTD) in the federal capital of Sudan (KHARTOUM) the economy capital of my Country, and he was also the personal adviser to the former head of state, before the rebels attacked our house one early morning and killed my mother and father in a cold blood. It is only me that is alive now and i managed to serve my life here in TOGO where i am living now as a refugee. ThisRefugee Camp is headed by a Reverend Father, i used his office computer to send you this email and i only enter his office when he is less busy in his office.
I would like to know more about you, your likes and dislikes, your hobbies and what you are doing presently. i like to meet understanding, loyal, sincere, truthful, kindly and friendly and more to that, a man of vision and truth. I will tell you more about myself in my next mail. Attached here is my picture when l was still living with my parents, Hoping to hear from you soonest.

grace

Grace,
Wow, you are VERY pretty!! You have no idea how happy I am that you have found me. I still cannot figure out how you did, but I will just chalk that up to fate.
I'm sorry to hear about your family and the fact that you are living in a refugee camp. That must be tough. Tell the Reverend Father that you are going to be using his computer A LOT!!! I want to write to you ALL OF THE TIME!!!
You wanted to know about me, so here goes...
My name is Drew, but my friends call me Captain Awesome!! I'm 31 years old and I live with my Mom and Dad (I'm saving up to buy my own place). I'm a PROFESSIONAL VIDEO GAME GAMER!!! Yeah Baby!!!
I got my name about 19 years ago because I was KILLING everyone's high score on Galaga at the local bowling alley. People from all around used to come to the 'Bowl-topia' bowling alley every Friday night to watch me ELIMINATE the competition!!! I would pull up in my Lime Green Pinto (I call it 'Captain Awesome's Conveyance of DEATH') and people would say "Here comes Captain Awesome!".
Nice.
Now, I go to local malls and play video games for money. Just last week, I went to the 'Center Street Mall' to "battle" the competition at Madden '09. I won 2nd place and got $2,500. Not bad huh?!?
My current game is 'Street Fighter IV', but I have some competition! Her name is Aretha! She's the only person who has EVER beat me! She always plays Zangief! Her 'Double Lariat, Focus Attack Dash Cancel' is UNBELIEVABLE! Oh, he's a slow character, but she can handle him like a professional. I try to use Gouken's character because he has the best 'Crouching and Standing Hard Punches' in the game!! But, she still beats me like a 4 year old in a K-Mart!! So, I practice about 14 hours a day.
Anyway, my likes are the following:
1. Hot Pockets
2. Red Bull (it gives me WINGS)
3. Video Games
4. Big Gulp's
5. Ice Cream
6. Pizza
7. Bean bag chairs
My dislikes are:
1. Exercise
2. Sweating
3. Jobs
I have only known you for a short time, but I can tell that God has brought you to me and I LOVE YOU!!!
Please write back soon,
Drew (aka Captain Awesome!(c))
Professional Video Game Gamer

Hello Darling,
How are you today, l hope you are fine. My day is very boring over here in Togo Lome. ln this camp we find it hard to go out because we are not allowed to do so, its just like one staying in the prison and l hope by God's grace l will come out here soon. I don't have any relatives now that i can go to, all my relatives ran away in the middle of the war the only person i have now is Rev. David Gomiss who is the Reverend pastor of the ( Church of God Mission ) here in the camp he has been very good to me since l came here but l am not living with him rather l am living in the women's hostel because the camp have two hostels one for men the other for women. The Pastor's Tel number is (00228 8148987) And his e mail address is ( revgomiss.david@yahoo.com). if you call and tell him that you want to speak with me he will send for me in the girl's hostel. and i will come to his office to speak with you. and i will be glad to hear your voice.
As a refugee here i don't have any right or privilege to any thing be it money or whatever because it is against the law of this country. I want to go back to my studies because i only attended my first year before the tragic incident that lead to my being in this situation now place. Honey, please l would like you to know that l have my late father's statement of account and death certificate here with me which l will like to send to you to assist me, because when he was alive he deposited some amount of money in a leading bank in which he used my name as the next of kin. The amount in question is $3.7 million dollars (three million, Seven hundred US dollers)
So l will like you to assist me transfer this money to your account and from it you will send some money for me to get my traveling documents and air ticket to come over to meet with you. I can't withdraw the money my self due to my refugee statues here in this country which does not permit me to do, rather the money can not be transferred in Togo where i am in refugee statues. I want you to send me your contact informations such as
Your Names .............
country .........................
House Address ................
Telephone ..............
Bank Info ................
I have got in touch with the bank and made them to know about my plans to withdraw this money, l also got them aware of the death of my father and they have acknowledged it with all their confirmation and verifications. However, they advise me to get in touch with a very responsible person who will stand on my behalf and my trustee as regards to this money since l am presently of refugee status over here and wouldn't be permitted to handle this amount of money, they also let me know about the bond which they signed with my father that the money will be handled to me in bulk amount which means that l should decide on if l should continue with the bank or not.
I just have to let you know about this so that you can assist me to be my trustee on this money. like l said, l want you to call me because l have allot to tell you.l kept this secret to people in the camp here the only person that knows about it is the Reverend because he is like a father to me.
Darling have a nice time and think about me. my dear, l hope to hear from you soonest. l love you.
Miss Grace

Hello Honey-Baby,
Now that you are my "Official girlfriend", I want you to know that I will do ANYTHING for you!! I'll be your Master Chief of the United Nations Space Command (UNSC) from Halo. I'll be your Space Marine fighting the onslaught of demons from Doom, Doom II, The Ultimate Doom, and Final Doom (I rocked at these games).
I Love You Gracie-Jane!!!
I just can't believe you have $3.7 Million Dollars! My Mom and Dad are still living and they still have to take out a loan for a used Kia Rio. My Mom and Dad manage my money. It's a real pain, but I was spending my money on new games and game systems. They just don't understand that the life of a GAMER requires the best systems out there...and Hot Pockets!! They said they got tired of having to pay for my gas and stuff. Oh well.
I have NEVER Loved anyone like you Grace-face!!!!
I really want to talk to you. I'm sure you have one of those "hot" voices like Maria Bamford or Yeardly Smith. I LOVE their voices! But, there's a problem. My Mom and Dad have a lock on the phone because I was constantly calling Microsoft giving them suggestions to improve the XBOX 360.
Personally, I think my ideas were GREAT!!!! One of my ideas was to make a helmet that could read your thoughts so you wouldn't have to move anything to play. Isn't that a great idea?!? I had another one where the controller was really a keyboard and a mouse, so it was like playing a PC game. They just told me to buy a PC.
I'm not allowed to call Microsoft for the rest of my life - Court order. Lame, but I LOVE YOU!!!
Oh, before I forget, here's the information you need.

I heard there are about 250 people entered, but I know all of the competition in the area and they don't stand a chance against "CAPTAIN AWESOME"!!!

Author note: I really want this person to write me back. I think the best way to do this is to A) show her that I have $1,000 and B) show her that I am completely in love with her. I mean, with a name like "Captain Awesome", I have to be pretty pathetic.
Please note: If your name is "Captain Awesome" I am in no way calling you pathetic.

Wish me luck,

My Lovely Grace,
I have to make this quick, the guy working in the computer department at BestBuy just walked away. I just eliminated 44 people (I even made a 7 year old cry). I feel kind-of bad, but he was a complete poser and didn't have the AWESOME skills like me.
Anyway, I'm pretty sure I'm going to win that $1,000 and the pretzels!!! Nice.
Just remember that I Love You Gracie-Jean-Winnebago!!
Wish me luck,
Your Captain Awesome!!!

Gracie-Lou My Love,
I had to pay the BestBuy guy $5 to do this, but I couldn't wait to tell you how much I LOVE you.
It's day 2 and there are only 4 guys left and they don't stand a chance against me! One of them has a really cool way of holding the controller (I may try it at home), but his reflexes are too slow and he doesn't watch his Chi meter closely enough. The other guy (who is going to get a distant 2nd place) hasn't been able to get a Hit Chain over 7!!!
Can you believe that!?! Heck, I can do a Hit Chain of 27 with my eyes closed!!!
I LOVE YOU Gracie-Pinto!!!
Anyway, the $1,000 and pretzels are practically mine. I'm going to get 4 FREE pretzels on the way out of the mall tonight!!
Just remember that I LOVE YOU and I will do whatever it takes to make you happy!!
Signing out.
Captain Awesome!!!*

Dearest Gracie-Lou,
Your "Captain Awesome" was frickin' AWESOME and utterly VICTORIOUS!!!
I completely SMASHED the competition!!! The last kid was practically in tears. I used my "Panda Stumble" and "Panda Quake" maneuvers with precision! He didn't stand a chance!
I LOVE YOU!!!
He was sitting next to me when I said "Hey, did you see the bus outside?" He said "What bus?" So, I said "The bus that takes you home after you get SCHOOLED by ME!!!" Man, I laughed and laughed.
So, your man has just won $1,000 AND my 1-year gift card for 'Wrestle the Pretzel' pretzels!!
I can't wait to hear from you. I have missed you so much and cannot wait to read another beautiful message from you.
I Love You more than my copy of Original Halo with the holographic image on the box!
Write me,
Drew (Captain Awesome)
