Early emails

The very first time i saw your profile my heart was attracted, immediately i knew here is my missing rib.
you might say am too rushy but there is no other way to express exactly how i feel for you,
it is really funny cause i have not seen you in person,.
Well just a bit about myself am a lover of nature, i like taking a walk at the beach and i like visiting the zoo, watching all those animals reminds me just how it will be in the new system when wild animals will become domesticated ones and everything will be working in perfect harmony
Am a chef by profession, a very good cook and an artist/sculptor, i do write poems, one of my major hobby.
Like i said i lost my wife to pneumonia, i don't have kids and am from london in England, but i was born in denver, colorado, that makes me an American.
I really want to know you more and see if we are compatible, but my instincts are always right, we will be happy together, if we put in the right energy for a relationship to succeed.
Hey am planning to move in to the USA permanently and starting up my own bakery.

I must apologise for my late replies, i went to a place where there is no internet connections, am glad to be back, i always look forward to your next email.

All my life i have been in love and i have never experience heart break, the only pain i experience is the lost of my wife, that was a major blow to me,.
So meeting you now has also brought so much joy and happiness to my aching heart and am giving you my heart and i hope you will not break it, to me relationship better fails at its infancy than marriage, in other words am offering you my heart and my love to last till enternity into paradise, if you will accept me so, am not very rich neither am i poor, but am very rich in love, that i can guarantee you.
Hey i like it that you are very humourous, thats very nice, i love children.
And please am very very inetrested and serious with you, i have been married for 15years and i lost my wife 3yrs ago, i dont have kid, i love kids. like i said ealier my insticts directed me to you and i trusted my instincts and am right by my choice of you.

Shawn

Hello Removed, i admire everything about you.
I was only born in denver colorado, i did not grew up there,
Myself i like simple life style and i enjoy out doors at the beach and i also go fishing, i simply love everything about nature, i draw inspiration there which i apply to my artistry, poem writing and sculpturing.
i will make a nice sculture for you one day soon,
I love to dance and rumba/tango brazillian type that interest me.
Am an only child thats why i want to move from here to ease the loneliness i feel inside at the lost of my parents and my wife, i want to start afresh, there is hope and even brighter future now that i have seen you, i pray that things work out fine with us.
though i know relationships do have their rigours but understanding and putting our trust in jehovah can see us thru difficult times, being in relationship is not always easy or put this way a bed of roses but if we are moving at the same speed and direction we can overcome all hurdles, i will expansiate on that later..
the bottom line here is that i love you and you mean the whole world to me, i know that sounds crazy but its the truth, eversince i came across your profile i have not been myself, am in love with you now, the whole thing is just too good to be true but it is real what i feel for you.
write more later
love

Subject: hello dear


Every marriage must start with a good relationship, you can call it affairs or courtship, you can just imagine i walk up to you and say i want to marry you, how will you feel? considering the fact that we met on the internet, makes everthing even scary but then all things work together for good, i believe that it is better for relationship to fail than marriage to fail, now what makes marriage fail, the answer among others is bad relationship from the start, so honey don't get me wrong, i want you strictly for marriage.
let me say this now, i love you and i mean it, the relationship am looking for with you is one that will lead to marriage
Each day i think of you every minute every seconds, i sincerely love you and i promise you my love forever, it is a policy statement i just made now.
So my love lets put our minds together to nurture this our love into marriage that will last forever.
i love you so so much.
I will solve that puzzle just wait
Shawn

I appreciate your understanding Removed, i love you so much and i want to let you know that, my life since i met you is better and sweet and very optimistic, i never knew i can find true love and happiness again, but i did find love and joy in you.
You have come to occupy a very special place in my heart, in my life, in my very existence.
Honey i will be by your side forever, nothing in life can come between us my love.
I promise you my love forever, i will call you on phone today.
Shawn

My angel have a good and pleasant morning,
Arise and shine my sweetness.

As i watch the waves at the beach, suddenly i start to visualise our future together
Watching the blue sea waves roaring with unimaginable strength and vigour, I likened it to the strength of our love, the love i feel and have for you my sweet Removed
In trust and faith, hope and love,
And knowledge of an emotion that never fades…
In a heart full of compassion,
And a love that remains true…
In these words of commitment and forever,
I vow these words to you… my sweet wife Removed

I may not have the world in my hands,
Or the universe to give to you…
But I have the knowledge that I’ll stay near,
No matter the situations we go through…
For love is understanding,
And love never departs…
That’s the best lesson I learned,
The day you touched my heart…
For on that day that I fell in-love,
And my long-sleeping soul awoke,
You changed me from a wilting flower,
Into a gorgeous, blooming rose…
I will love you forever darling Removed
Shawn

Hello my sunshine how are you today honey, am very sorry for not writing this few days babe, i was holding meetings though business lately,
i will be going over to instabul Turkey to consolidate a business deal tomorrow, all as regards my oil lifting from Nigeria to there,
Am getting almost done, you know something, the thought of you keeps me going and strong, i love you so much darling Removed
look i will make up for all my absence time ok.
Kiss you my sweet babe.
Shawn

Wife of honour, wife of fate...
wife that cares for me all day;
Wife of glory, wife that's great..
wife that …. sent my way.

In times of trouble, she bonds with me...
and makes sure i dont feel so sick;
In times of trials, she stays so close...
she shows me reasons to have much hope

Wife of power, wife of strength...
wife that lifts me when i'm bent;
Wife of action, wife of zeal...
wife that helps me reach my dreams.

When i'm down she shines a light...
and makes me soar like eagles high;
When i feel all hope is lost...
she gets so low and prays to God.
Shawn

you might say am too rushy but there is no other way to express exactly how i feel for you,
it is really funny cause i have not seen you in person, thats the work of god.
Well just a bit about myself am a lover of nature, i like taking a walk at the beach and i like visiting the zoo, watching all those animals reminds me just how it will be in the new system when wild animals will become domesticated ones and everything will be working in perfect harmony according to the will of jehovah.

Like i said i lost my wife to pneumonia, i don't have kids and am from london in England, but i was born in denver, colorado, that makes me an American.
I really want to know you more and see if we are compatible, but my instincts are always right, we will be happy together, if we put in the right energy for a relationship to succeed.
Hey am planning to move in to the USA permanently and starting up my own bakery.

I have also been scammed by this man recently. Uses the same photos and goes by the name Paul Donovan of Cardiff Wales telephone no.: 447024055672 & 447855504506. Claims to have relatives in Swansea, Wales. He says his wife died 5 yrs. ago from cancer and that he mortgaged his house to pay for his mom's medical expenses until she died 2 yrs ago. He preys on innocent women on dating site JWFriends pretending to be an authentic Jehovah's Witness ( which surprises me a bit cause you can only access this site with a particular song no. code that only JWs would know & it changes often) & uses various user names & aliases. He's extremely smooth, poetic and has an answer for everything so beware! I think he is very, very cruel and wicked.
