Dear Readers,

          Sorry to say that my spam filter was off all week. It took some doing but I have culled from my emails some of the more interesting letters. I hope my tech person has this all settled before too long. —O.G.

Dear Old Guy,

I am new to moving to your area and so I'm a little scared. I come here hoping to find a good and reliable man. In today's world is very difficult to find true love. And I'm looking for a man who will be interested in my inner world, my hobbies. Who will love me. Who can make me happy. I am very sociable, thin, blonde, kind girl originally from Utah. I want to create a happy Christian family. If you're interested to continue the dialog with me, just write me alexia at nicegal.com. We can get to know each other. Let us find common topics of conversation, and maybe we do a future together. Do not be afraid make the first step. I'll wait for your letter.

                                        Signed, Goodness of heart Alexia

Dear Goodness,

          Wow, but I think you have mistaken my column for one of those dating sites. That said, I am including your letter just in case one of my readers would like to meet a nice woman who, though, originally from Utah must now be stuck behind a desk in some eastern block country. Any takers? —O.G. 

Dear Old Guy,

Did you know NASA Scientist's Formula Reverses Wrinkles and Effects of Aging?

The doctor behind this refused to let his name be shared over fears that he would lose his medical license by revealing the lies spread by the "Cosmetic Surgery Industry.”

When you see formula you'll understand why he hide because exposing powerful people this way is dangerous.

If you've ever been told that wrinkles and fine lines can not be reversed or eliminated you need to hear what he's sharing because there may be a way to reverse the effects of these misunderstood problems.

Please if you have wrinkles, crow's feet, cracked lip contours and are thinking about cosmetic surgery use this formula because you could be doing irreversible damage to your body.

Everything is revealed here: NASA Scientist's Formula Reverses Wrinkles and Effects of Aging

Signed, Dr. Andrea Worthington, Anti-Aging Specialist

Dear Dr. Andrea,

Gadzooks, I am so thankful you wrote. First of all, the dangerous Cosmetic Surgery Industry is not an organization many columnists are willing to take on. I had a friend who was a producer at 60 Minutes on CBS who was working on an expose on this very subject. One day he was found in an alley with his face rearranged. Another colleague of mine, Abigail Van Buren, better know as someone else, had made the mistake of advising a woman to accept her looks and not get a nose job… 20 years later poor Abigail died of natural causes, just exactly how the Cosmetic Surgery Industry wanted it to look.

          But me? I stand up for the things I believe in and I believe in you and your product and in freedom and capitalism. Therefore I have sent you my banking information along with my two social security numbers so that I can receive my monthly deliveries of your anti wrinkle cream. God bless you Dr. Worthington for having such an American name! —O.G.  

Dear Old Guy Respected One,

GREETINGS, I got your contact from the International web site directory. I prayed over it and selected your name among other names due to it's esteeming nature as trust worthy person I can do business with.

I am Wumi Abdul; the only Daughter of late Mr and Mrs George Abdul. My father was a very wealthy cocoa merchant in Abidjan, before he was poisoned to death by his business associates. Before the death of my father he secretly called me on his bedside and told me that he has a sum of $12,500.000  in a suspense account in a local Bank here in Abidjan, that he used my name for the next of kin in deposit of the fund.

He also explained to me that it was because of this wealth that he was poisoned by his business associates.  He want I should seek for a God fearing foreign partner where I will transfer this money and use it for investment purpose. Sir, we are honourably seeking your assistance in the following ways.
1) To provide a Bank account where money would be transferred to.
2) To serve as the guardian of this since I am a girl of only 26 years.

Moreover Sir, we are willing to offer you 15 percent of the sum as compensation for effort input after the successful transfer of this fund to your designate account. Anticipating to hear from you soon. Thanks and God Bless.
                                            Best regards. Signed, Miss Wumi Abdul

Dear Miss Wumi,

          First let me start by saying condolences on the loss of your father. I suppose he has some consolation in having lived long enough to see you grow into a fine, responsible woman.

          That aside, business is business. Considering how your father was murdered for having these funds in his care, any transaction we might do together would also expose me to considerable risk. I am tempted to just say no and good luck to you, but my wife counsels me otherwise. I am advised to move forward with a 40 percent commission. This may seem high but it is less than most galleries take from artists… and since I suspect you are an artist of some sort, it would be only fair that I am compensated likewise. Please consider my response and get back to me quickly. Hoping we can move forward. —O.G.
