Claims: "used to run a social youth volunteer group"

Here are some of the emails;

Hello Removed

I am happy that we can communicate on here. its really amazing to read your letter and also read the words you wrote on your about yourself.I am also excited at learning new things from you especially about your culture, and way of your life. I have never met anyone from Canada before now. I want to say it is really nice to know some about you and to know that we both have what we desire in a partner.

I will just go ahead and tell you some about myself.i guess this will make a beginning to a great correspondence and life that we both can share and enjoy.

I have a taste of diverse culture that has built a lot of strenght in me to co-habit in different situations i have found myself. I used to run a social youth volunteer group that promotes literacy amongs teen girls in Africa and also we spread words against forceful traditional marriage to young teens who are not matured yet for marriage. Over here in Thailand, i have individually voluntered to taking care of old dependent citizens and it feels really good to me.

My name is Obot as you already know now. Obot means (the broom that sweeps). It is a traditional name from the Fon tribe in Benin where my mother hails from. I am a mix of both Asia and Africa.My Dad is Afro-asian (Beninoise) and mom is Thai but we spent most of our life living and working in our farm in Benin until Dad's death.I'm glad to be able to visit Thailand for the first time in my life and learn of the culture of its people.Well,that's just a brief history on my ancestry and origin.lol!!! i hope i didnt bore you with all that.I have just finished an architectural Design course and soon i am hoping to get a big big job in a big city..lol! i come from a small family of four but my dad is late now like i already told you. I just have my mom and sister left.They both live in Abomey-calavi a suburb in the Republic of Benin, a small coastal country in Africa.They both manage what is left of our farm after my Dad's demise.

I am an easy going, friendly girl who loves life and nature.I love all kinds of good music, keeping fit, road trips to places i've never been.I will never say no to something new and fun.i love helping others in need,i love wild life and nature i am happy i can enjoy a bit of it here even though it is nothing close to what we have back home.i am glad to live in a silent and secluded peaceful life away from fast growing western life whenever i am home.

A friend of mine here in Thailand met her husband on the date website so i thought i should give it a try too.I am looking for a sincere and fulfilling relationship with a man that has a good understanding of life.i know we can become what we wish for ourselves if we open our hearts to each other and start up in true friendship. i have sent you some more pictures of me and one of my family.i hope you'll tell me more about you too, your family , the city you live in and your job.I guess that will help to bring us even closer.I will like to know about your childhood too and also your ancestry too if it is as complicated as mine .lol!

Have a fantastic day as i wait to read again from you.

Cheers.
