Hello

Good to read back from you soon and thank you for writing me more about your self.As i told you in my previous message that my name is Bruce Williams, am a native of American an Irish/Hispanic man. My mom is a Hispanic American born. I happen to study Electrical Engineer in Oxford University London where i obtain my masters Degree in first class.My Dad works with Oil Contractors in UK include some parts of the Asian and American before he died. I work with my father as his personal auditor when i was 22 and we moved around for his contracts wherever he is awarded. I do own a home in NY. I was once married to a loving,caring,honest and sincere woman until death came and took her away from me...My Believe is that there's 1 woman out there that can help me find that Love and affection again. Someone who is Understanding, Kind, Good Sense of Humor, Loving,Caring, Honest, Sincere, Passionate and Affectionate woman who also believes in God, The Bible says" Seek the Kingdom of God first and every other thing shall be added on to you" I've sort the kingdom so I'm waiting for 1 of my other things that's my Dream woman and i believe when i have a woman that has the fear of God she wouldn't hurt my feelings and emotion which i have for her.Most people doesn't know what it take to hurt another once feelings and emotion and how it feels so I'm not into playing games.Basically that's all on me for now unless if you're willing to know more,then you can ask..Looking forward to hear from you soon

Regards
Bruce

Hello ,

I just see myself keep searching for your email and believe me i am getting so acquainted to you . Ever since we started sending the recent messages we've sent to each other...I've been so much thinking about you and to be sincere i am thinking about you.Wow! So here I stand, among the digital masses. We're not so different after all. Here I stand,surrounded by people who've met on-line, People who've loved and lost, and people who are found, and somehow, in a desperate world, found each other. So what do I say that hasn't already been written, or been already said? Hmmm, pretty tough! Okay... try this: I no longer need to hope for love by going to clubs, (y'know I can't dance!) supermarkets, church socials,by passing notes in class as a kid, or instant messages as an adult. I don't have to search for love, in ads, on the internet, in chat rooms, text messages, camera phones, faxes, and e-mails. I don't have to wait for good and bad feedback, have to need a good laugh, wait to talk, be told to shut up, look for hope, pray for a miracle, wait for an angel, see hope for God's love here on earth, wish for a special friend, crave for love's passion, envy others romance or wonder if someone will ever love me. Am so glad to meet someone like you
Hugs and Kisses

Bruce

In order to trick women into believing that they are special to him, this scammer is prepared to write sexual messages and descriptions. Some of these are very explicit. This example is one of his less-explicit scam mails:

From: Bruce Williams <[email protected]>

Hello my love,

I hope you are good...Am just thinking about you now.Baby There is so much I want to tell you, a lot has been running through my head lately. I'm having trouble putting my thoughts into words so you will have to bare with me through this.I keep thinking about the future, about life, and what I want out of it. I keep thinking about us and what this relationship means to me. I keep thinking about these things and I realized they go hand in hand. This relationship is my future; it's what I want out of life. I want to grow old with you. I want to experience this crazy love forever and ever, and I really think I'm going to get to. I want us to walk through new houses picking the one that would be just right for us. I want to see you walk around our house in a big t-shirt with your hair down and catch me staring at how gorgeous you are.

I want you to pull the covers off me at night and then I have to get even closer, if it's possible, to you to keep warm. I want to see you laugh like crazy at me when I do stupid stuff. I want to rub lotion all over your body because you laid out in the sun too long. I want to hold you when you cry and smile with you when you smile. I want to fall asleep every night with you in my arms. I want you to fall asleep on my chest listening to the beat of my heart and know it beats for you I want you to be the first thing I see when I wake up and the last thing I see when I go to sleep.I want to see your bad morning hair; I think it will be so cute. I want to sit on the beach with you and watch the sun set, and I want all the people who pass us to envy the love that we obviously have for each other.

I want to see you walk down that isle and I want to take your hand for the rest of my life. I want to spend all night,and maybe the next day, making love to you with an undying passion (sorry to be so blunt). I want to sit there talking to you for hours about nothing at all but in the same time everything or maybe we won't talk at all and just grin at each other realizing how lucky we are. I want you to get mad at me for doing something stupid, and I want you to bust out laughing when you try to yell at me. I want to lay with you in front of a fireplace and keep the heat going long after the fire goes out. I want to take trips with you to places we've never been and experience them together... I want us to go skinny-dipping in a hotel pool and get caught and streak back to our hotel room waking everyone up because we're laughing so hard. I want us to go and pick out the hot tub we want with the biggest grins on our faces the whole time.I want our friends to come over and get totally jealous because they don't share a love like we do.

I want to be walking into a store with you and trip and fall on my face and turn around to see you rolling on the ground laughing at me. I want us to run outside in the rain and act like total kids getting completely soaked, and when we come back in stripping down to nothing as we stumble into the bedroom, or the kitchen counter, or the balcony, or the dining room table, or an office desk, or the shower, which ever one we feel like at the time.I want it to take your breath away every time I say, "I love you" because you know it's coming from the heart.I want us to sit down with a box of strawberries, a bottle of chocolate syrup, and anything of mint chocolate ice cream; well, I'll let your imagination finish that one. I want to love you and be with you for at least forever if not a little longer. I couldn't really express in words what I'm feeling right now so I decided to share with you some of the images and thoughts that have been running through my head.I just want you to know that I had never found someone I wanted to spend the rest of my life with since the death of my late wife until I met you. I really am crazy about you, everything about you..I hope to chat with you soon online..

Lots of Hugs and Blessings.xxx Bruce

He is certainly not Australian! From the writing style alone, we can tell that he is really a Nigerian man.
