Thanks toad and everyone else. I've been reading through the posts and trying to absorb as much as I can. There's a lot, as you can imagine.
I registered on 5-31 and so far I've gotten some responses from the ladies, but only one so far that i'm interested in. She actually answers my questions. Two others I would be interested in, but their responses seem to be "canned". I've actually received the same letter twice from one girl. LOL. That's understandable because I have a hard time keeping track of who I've responded to and what I said.
My first newbie question:
There are two girls that I've written to and I've received e-mails indicating that they read my letters, but so far no response. What do I make of this?? It could be good or bad I suppose. Do the ladies send this indication or is it automatic? From their profiles, I would think that their english level is good enough to respond faster without a need for translation. If they aren't interested, is this their way of telling me that? Maybe they're just busy doing girl stuff. I have no idea.
If they aren't interested, then I don't want to send another letter to bug em. Would a follow up letter after a certain period of time be appropriate?
Dome: Nope, not ballington. I'm not sure what yammies are, but they do sound yummie.
Corky Ballington was a great GP rider, and rode Yamaha's as far as I remember.
You ask if you should 'bug' them if they don't respond.
YES you should, if you're really, genuinely are interested in them. It is your task to work yourself up to the top of their stack, stand out and grab their attention, to such an extent that amoung their heaps of mail YOU stand out - nothing else.
Respectful one,
Good a thing to write you. I have a proposal for you-this however is not mandatory nor will I in
any manner compel you to honour against your will. I am Kalistal john,20years old and the only daughter of my late parents Mr.and Mrs.john. My father was a highly reputable busnness magnet-(a cocoa merchant)who operated in the capital of Ivory coast during his
days.
It is sad to say that he passed away mysteriously in France during one of his business trips abroad year 12th.Febuary 2003.Though his sudden death was linked or rather suspected to have been masterminded by an uncle of his who travelled with him at that time.
But God knows the truth!
My mother died when I was just 5 years old,and since then my father took me so special. Before his death on Febuary 12 2003 he called the secretary who
accompanied him to the hospital and told her that he had a sum of 12.500,000 US DOLLARS (twelve. five) MILLION USA DOLLARS)kept in a security company in (AFRICA).
He also said that the security company does not know the content of the safe Box.He decleared it as family treasure and used my name to Deposit the Box as his first daughter for next of kin. He also explained to her that it was because of this wealth that he was poisoned by his business assocaites, That I should seek for a foreign partner in a country of my choice where I will transfer this money to and use it for investment purposes.
I want you to assist me in clearing this box from the security company and then transfering the fund inside the box into your account overseas as a beneficiary of the fund, and also use it for an investment purpose.
I am just 20 years old and a student and really don't know what to do.
Now I want an account overseas where I can transfer this funds. This is because I have suffered a lot of set backs as a result of incessant political crisis here in Ivory coast.The death of my father actually brought sorrow to my life.
Dearest one,I am in a sincere desire of your humble assistance in this regards Your suggestions and ideas will be highly regarded.
Now permit me to ask these few questions:-
1. Can you honestly help me as your daughter?
2. Can I completely trust you?
3. What percentage of the total amount in question
will be good for you after the money is in your
account?
Please,Consider this and get back to me as soon as
possible at kalistal_fr2007@yahoo.fr .
Thank you so much.
My sincere regards,
Kalistal john
Relax and enjoy the ride. Sometimes the girls have the letters read to them over the phone and it may take a couple of days for them to respond. They don't run to their agencies right away and respond to your letters. In most cases if they weren't interested you would recieve a letter back indicating this. Since you've been on here only a few days don't get overly excited about receiving or not receiving
responses in a quick manner. Don't limit yourself in your letter writing. I agree with Thunder also, you have to make yourself stand out among the rest. Take it slow and easy, I understand the excitement of this new adventure, but be prudent and also be honest with the ladies you write.
The first letter I received from Larissa was a "canned" introduction letter. If I would have blown that off for being canned I would have missed out on the most wonderful woman I've ever had the pleasure to meet in my life. Many of her letters in the beginning were very short and to the point. They have lives of their own and many are busy. Most travel by public transportation and hopping in the car and going to the agency isn't always the easiest thing to do. Some have phones and cell phones some do not. So be patient, also if the girl interests you, write a follow up letter. Be Pro-active in your letter writing. Write a few girls, see what happens. Just as we rise to the top of their list, she will rise to the top of yours. I wrote many ladies in the first few months on here, then It came down to writing just Larissa. Simple rules, as always, NEVER SEND MONEY! My second Rule IF YOU TELL A GIRL YOU ARE GOING TO DO SOMETHING DO IT! The respect and love you will receive is by far more than any inconvenience you may have to go through to do it. I have been to many places and done many things in my life, but this by far has been the most incredible journey I have ever taken. I wish I would have done this 10 years ago.
Please forward a cashiers check to me for $100,000 USD. Upon receipt of this check, I will board a plane for Zurich and open a joint account for us. Upon deposit of $12,500,000 USD I will have bank officials forward me my retainer for this of $2,500,000 USD and remove my name off of your account. This will leave you with a balance of 10,000,000. The 100,000 retainer will be returned also.
I will have my firm draw up the necessary paper work. Thanks for considering me in this business venture.

Thanks for the advice. I really appreciated it. I'll just wait a day or so, then send a follow up with more information about myself. Hopefully, I'll hear from them at some point.
So I guess some of them have computers and internet access at home, some use public computers, some have to go to the agency, and some have the letters read to them over the phone. Interesting.
I probably should have done this 10 years ago too.
C'mon though - you have to admit you cringe when you see an old tape of the Bear "Super Bowl Shuffle", that is if the tapes strill survive. When DID the Bears last field a decent team? Wasn't that the 80's (the 1880's maybe - didn't Papa Bear Halas have some guys then who could play?)
