Oh! Boy, This guy is good! I have gotten about 8 letters from him too but he is using a new name. "Magdaleno Richard Dewl" from Facebook. I had gotten several letters in my 'other' message space and started to read them, from there I wrote 5 of them and you guess it ALL SCAMMERS, I had no idea (at first). No one got any money out of me but I was 'smitten' by one, "Daniel Ridgeway". Oh he was smooooth until he asked me for money; on that day he slammed (8 calls and 31 texts) my cell phone calling from Nigeria and texting.... O M G and it continued until I got home and I just shut him down! Snapped at work before I left that day! Lost some sleep on this one. Another was "Jason Dave" really "Jason Davy" from Minnesota(?) in South Africa with his sick father, he hasn't honed 'the craft' just yet. All the scammers on Facebook have dropped off except Jason Dave, last time I checked.
I had gotten the same letter the 'concerned daughter' had written about. What they are doing isn't illegal just not very nice. I thought of lots of ways to mess with them but whats the point! Really!? Wouldn't I be stooping to their level, I'm better then that. I'll lick my wounds from "Sweet Daniel", yeah I know what you're thinking.
Is she crazy? I know it wasn't real and the person in the picture? What are the chances that it was him? Zip, Nada, Zelch...you get the picture. The pictures were too posed; like models, probably.
I have learned alot from this website and I thank you, one and all, very much. 
Letters from Richard follows:Hello ,
Another wonderful e-mails with content that make my whole being tingle with anticipation. The words are carried on the soft breeze that rustle the leaves in the trees, and echo with the bluebirds’ song in the morning. I seem to be "star gazing" and really do not belong to this world again, because receiving your email alone makes me feel good not minding the content. All I want is to open my mail and there is an email from you. I am so sorry i was not able to email you yesterday because of the urgent meeting my company held in Boston.
Something came up which I want to inform you so that it will not be so sudden or urgent for you when I tell you. It is related to the outcome of this meeting that I attended in Boston yesterday.The summary of the meeting is that I will be traveling to UK by tomorrow Sunday for an official engagement. It became important due to the outcome of the meeting we had yesterday. I will be traveling with some Maxindex Investors and may be spending 10 days in UK.I hope to fly straight to meet you on my way back to United States.
My day starts when I receive your wonderful e-mail, and ends with me sending you a reply. So do I wonder why you are in my thoughts all the time? The in between time is filled with romantic notions, breathless anticipation and a million and one thoughts of how our first meeting will go. Oh!!! that will be nice sweetheart, but Will there be fireworks? will there be balloons in the sky?
I know I am fantasizing, like a foolish teenager, but it makes me feel young and so extraordinarily happy. I must confess that I have tried to suppress the feeling of calling you my love all these while to avoid looking like I am rushing everything but each time I want to email you, it keeps coming into my mind. It is a known fact that I am falling seriously in love with you and cannot stand not seeing you soon. All I want you is to understand my situation and take me the way you see me for now. I fall in love easily and having been starved of love for over ten years makes me want you as soon as possible. All that I am sure is that this I not lust or a game of days but a life time relationship. I was married my to my last wife for 26 happy years and she was my first and only marriage or relationship. That alone will tell you more about me. Please honey; bear with me if I use those words so early. It’s due to the way I feel that makes me write the way I do. You are an angel in disguise....you have touched my heart thus making a difference in my life. Bringing more "Joy" than you will ever know that you have done. I will try and give you a call before i travel tomorrow at least to give all these emails a voice. Will talk with you later, bye for now and take care of your self for me OK,
All my love,
Magdaleno Richard Dewl.
My Dearest ,
Hope you are having a little excitement. Going on line to find a suitable companion, seemed hopeless for me, at the beginning. Most of my earlier contacts that wrote me on the first two days were from much younger women on Facebook. They always left me feeling bewildered and asking the questions - should I be flattered or insulted? In addition, there was always the concern - "what were the motives"? My faith was restored, when I decided to write instead of wait to be written. I wrote you and you appeared I thank my "lucky star" and enjoy the wonder of it. Essentially, I was so deeply happy that you displayed the qualities I was looking for, found out that we shared a lot of the same interests and I adored the expressive e-mails.
Lonely times make us search harder for the good times. Bad times are only vague memories and we can look to the future with optimism to happy times. To "give" and "receive", to pamper, to spoil, to guide, to care for in all ways, makes for a wonderful relationship. There is no need for anger, when there is understanding, loyalty and sincerity, open communication and the ability to compensate for differences. Life is meant to be enjoyed and thusly, should not harbor hurtful thoughts and actions. Life is full of obstacles - to survive; one has to approach the obstacles with an open mind and a desire to overcome them. Let your heart tell you, if you want to be victorious in the challenge. Is the challenge worth the extra effort? Will it make your life better? Then pursue it with all your might. They say "Love" overcomes all obstacles. But to love blindly - leaves scares in your heart. The "ups" and "downs" in peoples life's can be painful but can be healed with limitless compassion.
Happiness is created in many ways - mostly in what people do and say! Your words encourage me to drink long and hard from the cup of life; to capture every drop of adventure that comes my way. I often ask myself, why we met - even if it was in such an unconventional way! I truly believe that a "path" is mapped out for us, when we are born. Are we given a purpose - are we given instructions on how to live our life and what we are to achieve? We are guided by our parents, teachers and friends and unconsciously adapt some of their ways to our life. However, there is a greater plan for us in the making. We are tested daily to make us stronger. Stumbling blocks are put in our way to overcome and make us rise above them. Many people travel from cradle to grave without ever seeing themselves clearly, without accepting heartache and grief and without ever wondering about their past, present and future. They accept their life blindly, without questions or true understanding of their own value and potential. They become frustrated, disillusioned and bitter. We have all been given the tools to excel, feel more important, more fulfilled and more useful. You have shown me that you know how to use the tools so don't ever let anyone tell you that you will not accomplish and excel at what you have chosen, or perhaps, what had been chosen for you. What measure do they use to compare, or do they feel inadequate in their own achievements?
Success is a passion for living. Success belongs to each and every human being. It is not for the few, or the chosen ones, or the rich, or the educated. Success is for everyone. IT IS FOR YOU. Success is simple; it means having, doing and becoming the best that life affords. It means service to mankind. Success means applying your best effort to realizing your best results, leaving the world a better place. It is winning at the game of life. Success is life itself! Success is no secret; no mystery; no cause for frustration or misery. It is yours to claim. i have claimed mine.
So, was I meant to come into your life to help you see your own worth, to encourage and support and show you the heights that you have already accomplished? I have not chosen your "path" and don't know the plan decided for you, but I know you have a passion for life, so you are and always will be successful. I am grateful to you for giving me your trust, but I think you now know, I would not misguide you. When I think about you, a picture comes to my mind, a woman sweet and gentle, with a heart that is one of a kind. Your light shines ever bright - your love an endless sea.... and nothing could be sweeter than the love you have for me. , you are my inspiration, but most of all “A gift from God to me”. I want to wish you a happy new year again and with this email welcome you to an inspiring year of good luck and success in all you do. This letter may not be too romantic but inspiring enough to start your weekend tomorrow.I thank God above for you, May you always find new blessings .For as long as you may live.
Endless love
Richard.
Anyway, hope he doesn't scam anyone else.
