I have to admit I was a bit creeped out when I recieved this message on MFP. I don't quite know how to take it, should I be flattered or offended? I have blocked this person as this is not the type of message I would expect from this site. I have removed the name of the sender. Opinions?
So here it is:
" Hello Madam I am with much pleasure to send you this email. By the way I will for ever stand by to say sorry if you don't expect any email from you. How are you doing with your beloved famioly? I hope Insha Allah you shall for ever be alright with your beloved family. I know you do not know me but i just hope To getting to knowing you more.How ever, I would like to let you know my reason and aim for being here. I know your reason being here might not be that, but for the fact that it was only a wisdom of God which made it possible that i chosed to send you an email, it was a direction only From Holy God Allah. I know i am a muslim, but i feel we are all believing in one God. And if you know you don't correspond with non christians, you can feel free to let me know because i am a boy with great faith and heart full of so much love and concern. I need some one to show me the love of a mother. I need some one who will for ever be there to always offer me the opportunity to also have the chance to call the word my mom again. I lost the love of my mom during the year 1994 as a result of a war that was caused through a sale over a guinea fowl. It was there i lost the love of my dad and mom and i have never enjoyed their love like i had wanted to. I could feel they had so much love for me at the time i was with them and they did also loved me so much. I know my mom is not dead yet, but for the fact that i can't find her any more is all that pains me. Sometimes i feel our mothers are the greatest things to ever happen to us and i never know how much to say God bless our mothers. Sometimes it is a great gift to some one having a mother and if you still have them around you sometimes you don't feel or appreciate that till the time you loose them. When i see a child with the mother it makes me happy but i never get the opportunity and chance to enjoy this love any more. With this being my reason, i puruposely and personally come here searching for some one who will listen to me and accept me as the common boy. Even though i have always being demeaned by many people of my root as a villager, but this never drops down my hopes and inspirations for my destiny. I hope to live and to live for others too one day. I love to serve and to living around the field of technology so i can help my country also advance in the field of technology.Well, i am so sorry i had to write to you a book. Only thought that was the best way i could express to you how much i really cherish and ever dream of being called a son to you and you offering me the opportunity to calling you a mother of mine from across the seas too. I know you can give me happiness only and only if God permit that, But with i believing that its only through God's will that makes me chooose you, Inshall Allah you shall admit to take me as a son from across the seas and i once again stand here to appologize for the book i have written.God bless and i will be looking forward to reading from you.__________is my name and YOu?"

:noway: That's creepy. I'd say spam or a scam. I'd report him to someone on here, on top of what you already did. Just creepy.0

I guess I have to agree with the people above me. This is spam! It looks like someone who is trying to "get to know" you by appealing to your motherly instinct then will try to scam you out of your money.
Wise choice to block this person. Perhaps you should report them so MFP can be on the lookout for this type of behavior. I, for one, never would have suspected it here on this site. Thanks for making us aware.0 -

Totally scam/spam. And creepy. Make sure you report that person to MFP.0

There are a few grammatical errors. I would correct them and send it back to him. It was also a bit tough to read. Correcting it might help him out so the next person he sends it to won't get as freaked out.0
-
Be sure to report the mail to Mike or Steven so that they can take action against the person who sent it0
-
OH MY. Even if that is not a scam that is about a 12 on a creep scale of 1 to 10. GROSS.0

But it probably is one.0
