Just this today. Nothing else in the email, just the picture.

There is something mildly sinister about that...
I hope you get it.

It looks fun.
Flood proof house! Built in waterside!
It looks sinister because the ladder is the same height as the door but only had three rungs, so you'd be climbing some very high ladder rungs to get in.

I'd live there, even if I had to climb up the slide to get in.
Is it situated in Super Mario Galaxy?
"When you have time, I would really appreciate your expert help in better fitting out our bedroom walk-in wardrobe. As you saw, the current metal poles are barely taking the strain of my ever expanding wardrobe.

All the best

Mark"
"Hi Mark,

I'll be right over."

Expert help, none the less. Is there no end to my talents.
Maybe he's done this one on purpose, I mean.. Who wants to give up their time to fix a walk in wardrobe? Not me that's for sure.
"Hi Mark, you can afford a walk in wardrobe. Stop being a tight-arse and pay a professional."
"Hi mark, I have had a review, and think it will require more work than initially thought. Namely, the structure of the poles will need a more thorough grounding, else you will just end up with the same problem again. Unfortunately this will require a significant initial outlay; could you transfer $500 to my bank, please <insert paypal details here>. I will get the work done as soon as the equipment arrives.

Love and hugs"
'There's ample room behind those heavy fur coats.'
"Mark,

You and I both know that I saw what you're keeping in that wardrobe. I think it's safest for both of us if we no longer communicate with each other, and just lie low for a while. Good luck."
According to the nice little message facebook has sent me, it's his birthday.

I think i'll email him my best wishes.

Oh... wait.
"Dear Neil,


Please find attached the signature page for signing so as we can withdrawal the maximum cash out of your frozen fund. After signing you can scan and email back or send through the mail. Could you also provide the banking details in which you would like the funds to be deposited into.

If you have any questions regarding this please don’t hesitate to call the office.
"

Frozen funds eh?
I assume you have questions? Call the office.

"Can you verify my mother's maiden name and first line of my address, please?"
"What is 8*7?"
"I'm Bobbin, are you my mother?"

It's in Australia, I don't speak Australian.
This is crazy. Surely he'd notice an important email like that was missing?
Maybe he will notice when the money is missing!

"Können Sie überprüfen, mein Mädchenname der Mutter und der ersten Zeile des Adress, bitte?"
"Was ist 8 * 7?"
"Ich bin Bobbin, du bist meine Mutter?"
Roman is graduating from year 6 soon! Exciting times, he is moving up to Youth.
I've been asked if I want to attend the graduation ceremony, but I think the cost of the flight to Oz will be prohibitive.
You obviously just don't love him enough :'(

If only you'd recovered the maximum cash out of the frozen fund.

Oh man. I've just spotted this thread. As an early adopter to Gmail I managed to get my actual name so for nigh on ten years I've been warding off similar from people all over the place. I did some *terrible* things, especially early on when I wasn't sure I wanted to move over to Gmail from Hotmail and before I realised exactly what was happening and assumed this was some kind of elaborate phishing scam. Proper actual career-ruining stuff. :(

You can't leave us hanging.

And full of gas.
Held together by her own gravity.
Burning, civilisation-threatening wind.

Hey! So it is! I never noticed that either.

You mean, 'doppelgänger'?
Doppelgaenger I would have thought as umlauts are phased out, aren't they?
Either way, Bik was wrong.

While criticising someone else for spelling it incorrectly. Brilliant. :)
