Hello Dearest xxxxx,
You've got me dreaming about you. Thoughts of you invade my mind every second of every day. I can't help it; you have become a part of my world and it scares me because I haven't depended on anyone in a long time like this. I would trust you with everything i have for now .... I do trust you with everything I am because you have made me feel real love and I pray to God that you never do anything to make me regret it.

Yes, now I can honestly say that I love you and will always love you because you got instinct my defenses and made it to that special place located at the core of my soul. but the fact remains that my feeling,though,dream,imagination has fallen for you and I can't change that! I want you to know that I would much rather have you in my life and take a chance at losing you than not having you at all and wondering throughout, what it would have been like between us.

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 realize they go hand in hand. This relationship is my future and dream.
I've kept my feelings for so long for my dream woman, it's contained for as long as I could. I am in love with you though, true and honest love shouldn't be contained and kept quiet for this long. There is so much about you that i want to share life with!!!!

At last, I have a chance to give it depth and purpose.

Love From
Wayne..

xxxxx,my dreams for you are endless,I want to be that special who would love you in that special way that you so much deserve,I want to make you be at peace with the world,i want to wake up next to you for the rest of our lives,I want to make decisions with you,I want to give you my shoulder whenever you feel down or crying,I just want to be there for you at all times....Please ask me whatever you would like to know about me...

Here is another email from this scammer

Hello Dearest Name,

This feeling of love that I hold within my heart for you runs deeper than any ocean or sea; I just wish you could see how much you mean to me. If only you could hold me, then maybe you would feel my love for you that burns with a flame high enough to last. If only you could hear my heart beat, then maybe you would understand the language of love with which it speaks. If only you could kiss me then maybe you would taste my love for you that's so sweet, and if only you could look into my eyes, the window to my soul, then you would know that this is no lie!

So, if what you feel for me is real and what you say is true, then with all my heart do I trust thee. If you want me as your love as much as I want you as my love then so be it!!! I give you this heart of mine and ask nothing less or nothing more but just that you don't go breaking my heart. My love and trust is all I have to give to you, sealed with honesty,trust,sincerity throughout and as time goes by, may it grow stronger to fulfill your heart's desire,(removed), some feeling about you has been running through my head lately for the sudden existence of love.

Each day, I am in awe and I say to myself, "I can't believe I just keep falling more and more in love with her each day!" Each day, I love listening to you more because you thought are full of passionate and affectionate love

I love you and only you and want you and only you - I could never have even imagined or wished for such a blessing when it comes to you and me being together and how lucky we are to be in love,Though distance may keep us apart, you will always be embedded deep within my heart, it's so weird for us to be so far away from each other but yet so close...

Love without reserve,
Wayne..

My Dearest Removed.
Your love has made its way into my heart. I can feel it swelling in me as it grows. Looking forward to every new word from you to appear on this mundane screen is only causing me to want to see you more. I keep thinking of your kindness and care expressed lovingly in these letters. I read them over and over. They are the first pages of our story.

Last night I woke almost feeling your lips on mine. I could almost hear your heart, beating beside me. Yes I could almost feel your gentle touch. I marvel at the miracle of this blessing every minute, thanking God and our Angels for every small step forward into our life together.

You and I are both wondering "if what you feel for me is real and what you say is true...", afraid to believe fully in this blessed discovery of each other, of true love. How can it be? How is it possible? Please believe with me, believe in me, help me if I lose even one hint of faith. All things are possible. Even the greatest love is possible. And it is happening right now, amazingly, it is happening to us. Don't ask if it is real but make it real. Light a candle and make a wish. Pray for infinite help from the entire universe that we will see this love grow and flourish until we are the Great-Grandparents of a happy, loving, conscious family that continually serves this world by branching our love into the ages to come and on into the next lifetime. What dreams may come?

I always knew finding my love would be like this: sudden, magnificently intense, firey, amazing. I tried to deny it, at first remembering the failure of the past. Darling, it was your words, your kind sincerity, your determination. I have taken another step into your beautiful heart and declared, "I Love You, too". In the face of your honesty, how could I not? And I wanted so much to look into your eyes when I said it to you. Love grows so quickly between us. So hot and passionate: our love may consume us- (Victims name removed), it frightens me! You give me your heart and I lovingly take it into my careful hands like a little baby bird. And I give you mine. We must not take each others hearts away. Let us put our hands together and let our hearts rest there. We will keep them happy and safe together in our loving hands and do the work as one. If your heart breaks then so shall my own.

Be careful with me, Love. I am delicate. When you see me look into my eyes and realize that I am your Love. Hold my hand and take comfort that it will always be there for you to hold as long as you choose to stand by my side. Kiss me and drink in the bliss that is created in that moment at the gentle touch of our lips. Think what a long life it would have been to miss each other and wait for the world to come around again for us. Feel the profound awakening of both our hearts to the Love, the very essence of divinity flowing through us as we open to each other. Slowly! Take pleasure in the gentle warmth of our tender growing baby Love. Please! Don't let me catch on fire! Don't let me be singed by the flames of unbridled desire! I can't withstand it my darling I am so delicate a Man cos i feel like a teenager. *Love me. Please just Love me deeply and tenderly. Hold my hand and walk with me slowly and carefully into our new world. We will go though so many changes together. May we walk through them easily.

I feel that you are my one true love. I stand amazed at your presence. You are so close. Only a few short days away. I am overwhelmed and joyously happy that you found me.

With perfect love and perfect trust, I welcome you into my life.
Love without reserve,
Wayno..
Baby,i want you to know that i took me so long to write this baby and i hope you like it..

Scammers will often send you loving words that have been stolen from various sites that have love poems and letters. This scammer is a little smarter than most, he actually goes to the trouble of piecing them together so they seem more realistic.

It' Just a Woman
From time to time people tell me, "Lighten up, it's just a woman," or, "That's a lot of money for just a woman." They don't understand the distance traveled, the time spent or the costs involved for "just a woman." Some of my proudest moments have come about with "just a woman." Many hours have passed and my only company was "just a woman," but I did not once feel slighted. Some of my saddest moments have been brought about by "just a woman," and, in those days of darkness, the gentle touch of "just a woman" gave me comfort and reason to overcome the day.
If you, too, think it's "just a woman," then you will probably understand phases like "just a friend," "just a sunrise," or "just a promise." "Just a woman" brings into my life the very essence of friendship, trust, and pure unbridled joy. "Just a woman" brings out the compassion and patience that makes me a better person. Because of "just a woman" I will rise early, take long walks and look longingly to the future.
So for me, and folks like me, it's not "just a woman" but an embodiment of all the hopes and dreams of the future, the fond memories of the past and the pure joy of the moment. "Just a woman" brings out what's good in me and diverts my thoughts away from myself and the worries of the day.
I hope that someday they can understand that it's not "just a woman" but the thing that gives me humanity and keeps me from being "just a human."
So the next time you hear the phrase "just a woman." just smile....because they "just don't understand."
I hope this brightens your spirit baby..Lots of love and kisses to you..

Thanks for getting back to me with wonderful words baby,I just want you to know that i can't wait to meet you..I don't really do have much plans here baby as all i do is get to work on the project and its gradually getting to its completion stage and i would be back in some days,my weekends are always boring and i am very much homesick cos i get to stay indoors all the time..My work is a very hard job to be candid,as it involves a lot of equipment and a great deal of determination but i am glad i do get to do it with passion and commitment...How was your big day?Tell me more about your work too..Lots of love and kisses to you..


And this email closely followed, if you look carefully, they wer not written by the same person, suddenly, "I"s are capitalised, spaces appear after most punctuation, but look closely at the second email and you can see where the same person as above starts typing again.

My Life,
I was thinking about youand wanted to write you a little note on how much i truly care for you. I can't really find the words to explain the way I feel when I chat with you, all I can say is that I like the feeling that I feel.
Thank you so much for having so much faith in me,over the last couple of weeks, it's been wonderful; I never expected to feel this way nor actually be with you in this way, experiencing life with you. You have been wonderful to me and i don't ever want to lose you.
You make me really happy and even though we are apart so much of the time, it's made up each time I read your messages with wonderful words, the feeling that I get is overwhelming and as time goes by my feelings for you grow dramatically.You make everything complete and I can't imagine spending time with someone else and having these feelings for anyone else. I'm anxious to see you cos now i know you are that hidden treasure of mine which i have been searching for so long..Lots of love and kisses to you..
From your dearest in heart,
Wayne..

Here is where the money requests begin, they were sent from 41.219.227.150 = Nigeria

to be more precise;

address: Plot 1261, Bishop Kale Close, off Saka Tinubu
Victoria Island, Lagos, Nigeria


Which happens to be a very popular internet cafe for Romance scammers

Firstly there was this simple email

I need your help as i am having a very serious problem..


Then came this email that talks of dire times, no doubt the next will be him needing money urgently

Sweets,

I am so sorry for not saying hello but i have just experienced the worst problems in the whole of my forty five years on earth...I was attacked by a group of hoodlums on sunday night and i am so lucky to have death..i was severely injured and i was just released from the hospital last night..I have lost some of my belongings to them including my passport,documents and lots of things baby..I am so sorry for telling you this but there is nothing i can do..i have reported to the authorities and they seem not be affected by my cause at all..Please xxxxx,I really need your help now so as to get back home as soon as possible as my safety is no longer guaranteed here and i am a total stranger..I hope you understand my situation..Hope to read back from you as soon as possible..

Love without reserve,

Wayne.


Of course it's all a lie, this is just part of his standard script and story line that he hopes will be enough to get his victim to send him money

Next in this series is the email where he actually asks for money

This email was sent from 41.219.220.122 = Nigeria (Maryland)

Which just so happens to be the same internet cafe as last time

address: Plot 1261, Bishop Kale Close, off Saka Tinubu
Victoria Island, Lagos, Nigeria


Mail;

Thanks for getting back to me My love,I am presently in a small room taking refuge there but i just want to get back home..Please i do need a little amount of money so that i can book my flight tonight and return home and i want you to believe in me that i will repay you as soon as i return,i just hope you understand and you can help me out with this..i am waiting impatiently to read from you..
Love without reserve,
Wayne..


The next will likely be to give instructions on how to use Western Union.

Scammers prefer Western Union as it allows them to remain annonymous


Editing to add,


Just as predicted, this just in

Baby,
I am currently in nigeria,i have been to the embassy but i can't get any help as there are lots of people and i was only directed to another agency..i have been there and what they could do for me now is to get a little amount of money so as to book a flight and get back home..Can you please help me send some money and you can do it via western union money transfer and i will receive it in minutes..Please write back....


Of course his embassy would help him if it were real, but that would not enable him to scam you then so he has made an excuse that they would not help him.

My guess, the next email will contain information on what details to include in the Western Union payment, scammers understand Western Union very well.

In response to specific questions about the embassy and how they WILL help, he replies

Removed name
This is no time for comedy or any sorts..i am really in danger and my safety is not guaranteed...Please let me know if you can help me send the money after the meeting as thats the only way for me to get my flight booked and return..There is no phone whatsoever..Let me know if you are sending the money and moreso you didn't even asked of the amount..
