Dear Binta,
Thank you for your email. I am delighted you contacted me too! I must tell you that I found it so refreshing that you told me right off the bat that you are good looking. I wish more people would do that. Attractiveness is an important factor that is best not left to the last sentence. You clearly have a considerate and upfront nature.
I hope I'm not being presumptuous, but your email seems to suggest that you are interested a loving and perhaps sexual relationship with me. I am beyond flattered (in fact I am blushing as I type this) but I have to be honest with you. I am currently not a lesbian. I don't know which of my profiles led you to me, but I'm guessing you saw this photo:
What can I say? It was the early 90s, and everyone was into grunge. Of course that doesn't explain my enthusiastic performance of the Running Man, but in my defense, I was at Mardi Gras and probably one or two hurricanes deep into my street dance routine. So don't be embarrassed; you aren't the first person to mistake me for a lesbian (or a drug addict for that matter).
That being said, I somehow feel incredibly drawn to you. Is it possible that maybe, just maybe, I am the Lindsay Lohan to your Samantha Ronson? I'm sure this sounds strange, but I can already picture us playing frisbee with your dogs, harvesting our organic vegetable garden, and driving your mom and stepdad's camper to the middle of nowhere, snuggling at night in our zipped-together sleeping bags. Binta, it's like a dream, a nocturnal emission of the brain, telling me that you might be The One.
I eagerly await your reply, and please send those photos. In the meantime, I will prepare to tell my husband and children that I can't deny these feelings any longer. I couldn't live with myself if I didn't pursue this chance at true happiness.
Yours,
SGM
p.s. I really do need to see your pictures. It's not that I don't trust you, because I do, but I need to make sure that your definition of good looking is the same as mine. Also, if you could send a little cash, it would really help me out because I have a few debts to settle (I'm definitely not a drug addict but I do have the occasional bump of cocaine. Totally not a big deal--I'll explain later). Thank you so much, Binta! I live for the moment we can meet in person.

I saw on "America's Most Wanted" that Binta moved in with an 86-year-old woman, stole her wedding silver, wrote herself checks amounting to $117,000, and pushed the old lady down the stairs. She is wanted in seven states for fraud against the elderly.
HATER!
my love for you is pure as snow on mountain before crows come to do their business on it, my SGM.
You have no idea how much I needed to hear that, Binta.
Also I will need your credit card number, for to buying you diamond
Excellent. I think you might enjoy this: www.letterstonigeria.com :)
Is that Vonda Richardson in the background of that photo? :)
Looks like her, doesn't it? I knew you'd like this one!
