I just got this e-mail in my inbox. Oh man, if this guy thinks I'm helping him get into this country, he's sadly mistaken!

Johannesburge, South Africa.

Dear Sir/Ma,

Calvary greetings to you in the name of Jesus - Amen.

With much pleasure and regards, I feel a great guelm of joy
to communicate with you through this missive of mine.

It is no doubt that you will be surprise to receive this
letter which came to you at the point in time of the day.
But all the same, I give God Almighty the glory who gave me
the opportunity to lay my hands on your email address.

I am Rev. Chris .O. Linus from Nigeria resident temporarily
in South Africa. since I arrive here, I have been making
frantic effort to come to Australia to exhibit the gifts of
God upon my life but my efforts proved abortive hence, I
decided to contact you and seek for a help from your
Ministry. All I needed is a Letter of Invitation from your church
to enable me come to the United States of America to
complete the assigment of God in my life.

However, I want you to know that you will never regret ever
helping me by sending a letter of invitation to me. Be
also informed that God will never fail to bless you as you
least expected. You can reach me on the phone number above
for mor discussion.

I shall be delighted, if you can assist to sponsor my
journey to your country. I shall reconcile all the expenses you
may have incured on me when I come.

Thanks and God bless. I wait eagerly your prompt reply.

Yours in His vineyard,

Rev. Chris .O. Linus

Now that's in seriously bad taste.
I guess they can't get people to give out their bank info anymore, eh?

Geez.

Geezy Creezy.

Cake or death?

"Yours in His vineyard,"

Hehehe. I think he's admitting he's a drunk!

Druids...no, most pagans have far better taste and manners than that.

Well, manners, maybe. Taste is optional. :)

Oh I don't know ... I've found most Pagans to taste quite good ...

I just now got some Christian spam from my grandmother. I get shit like that all the time from her--she doesn't know I'm pagan, so I can't really begrudge her, but it gets annoying all the same. Anyway, among the closing lines was this:

"The shortest distance between a problem and a solution is the distance between your knees and the floor. The one who kneels to the Lord can stand up to anything."

Boy oh boy, my mind went REALLY dirty, then. "You mean I can solve all my problems from my knees? Great! But the pay's not that good..."

Oh, good--glad I'm not the only one who had that exact thought when I read that line...

HA! That's what was on my mind too! Oh dear...

And trust a very good friend of mine (very cute in a Jodie Foster way and very huggable, too) to follow that up with a cute email about God & Eve. (Where God is female, and it's Eve looking for a companion...:D)

Hmmm ...

So he's been "making frantic effort to come to Australia to exhibit the gifts of God upon [his] life", has he???

Sounds like some kind of religious flasher to me ...

The again, this IS the same dude who was thrilled at "the opportunity to lay [his] hands on your email address" ...
