First,I am a Asian so please bear with my words I just really need to ask for help.

So I met this man named FRANCIS RICHARD in a dating site.He asked for my email so we can have a better communication as per him.I'm quite giddy at first,ofcourse who wouldn't be when someone is promising a future with you.But then I doubted his sincerity when I did my research about him and stumbled upon this letter which content was exactly like the first message he sent to my email.The only thing that differ was the name used but overall it was some kind of a replica.

I started to further my research and that brought me here.I was supposed to ask for help a week ago but I wanted to be really sure so I've waited for some proofs from him,that proof that I have read here.

So,few days ago he told me he had sent me a package containing valuable things (unfortunately I gave him my exact address before I learned about your site :cry:).I think I'd rather post everything here.

[email protected]

Honey on my way traveling to Canada i stopped by at the carrier company and was trying to call you but the no is not reachable, then deposited the package, Honey you know my heart is open for you .This short moment we have met and Exchange mails together has been an elevation in my life so i willingly decide to share with you .I will always be here for you. Honey it's very important for me to express to you how much you really mean to me. I wish i could do this in person while holding you in my arms and gazing into your eyes but since we are physically separated by miles this expression must come in the form of latter such as this. i know it's difficult for you, as it is for me, to be separated so long. life seems to be full of Trials of this type which test our inner strength, and more importantly, our devotion and love for one another. Our love has been assaulted many times, and I'm convinced that it's true because the longer I'm away from you. The great is my yearning to be with you. I cherish any thought of you. prize any memory of you that rises from the depths of my tiny, and live for the day when our physical separation will no longer be.
Until that moment arrives, I send to you across the miles, my tender love, my warm embrace and my most passionate kiss. i love you so much.

You are dealing with a scammer. There is no package, the courier is a fake, they just want to steal your money. Stop all communication with them, ignore any further emails from them and do not tell them you know it's a scam. Just let them think that you dropped off the face of the planet. They will just move on to their next victim.

====================================
PLEASE DO NOT TELL A SCAMMER HE IS REPORTED HERE!
