Wanita is looking for friends ya'll

Wanita Efua [wanita23care@yahoo.com] sent me this message this morning:

Hi, my name is wanita a single and never married beautiful young girl seeking for true love for a long term relationship,i am happy to contact you after going through your profile at an online penpal site which got my interest! i will love us to be good friends or a lot more,you can contact me through (wanita_e1@yahoo.com )so that i will send you my photos,bye wanita


Wanita has a lot of nerve. Does he she really think I am going to be penpals with her? Puh-lease. I know all about these little scams. 

Looky here, Mister Miss Wanita (since I know you are reading my "online penpal site"), I will have you know that my pen-pal love is already committed to Mr. Seok Bae Lee of Choongbok,  Korea. Sure the last time I sent him a letter was the 80's, but I am totally going to see if he is on Facebook!

Here is a letter circa 1979 (I can't read the postmark).

DID YOU READ THAT??? I totally forgot he wants to be my pen-pal forever!!!!!!!!  Crap, now I really do have to Facebook Seok-Bae.

I have to say that my relationship with Seok-Bae really gave me a complex about my penmanship. See how his progressed by 1982?  Did I mention that he is Korean? Holy moly!  Oh and yes we were still corresponding in 1982, though things seemed to be going down hill.



I guess we became teenagers and got too busy with the rock and roll scene (if you know what I mean). It got so bad that I reached a point where I was absolutely convinced that I was going to marry David Lee Roth. For real.  My friend Jennifer always called me "Lori Lee Roth" just so I could get used to my married name. 

Here is an envelope from a letter that she sent me back in 1984.



ohmygosh.  I am totally cracking up at all these crazy letters I saved from the 1970s and 1980s! They seriously make me laugh.

I miss postal letters damn it.

Getting back to my little situation with Wanita. I don't know about you, by I am really tired of all these internet scams. I tell you what:  If you send me your name, d.o.b., ss# and bank account information, I will file a class-action lawsuit against the country of Nigeria. Once I have that all settled, I will wire you your winnings.  DO IT! It is our only hope in putting an end to these scams people.

PS:

OMG, just for the hell of it, I googled my pen-pal and it appears that his master penmanship  and plans for hard studying in 1982 paid off.  He is a CEO!

Could this really be my pen pal?  The age is right (I am 41). How common is the name Seok-Bae?

Errgghh! I went on the MCTT Core website and it was all written in a bunch of smack that I cannot read. Darn it. I should have at least made an effort to learn Korean.
