I am so happy to hear from you just as the sea was calm today. When you're in a long distance friendship, all you can rely on is letters, cards, emails, and telephone calls. I see myself falling greatly for you because you take the time to write me and make me feel appreciated. I was introduce to the site by a friend who got married through it.So while browsing through it, your picture appeared,so that is why i got the gods to send you an email.
I will tell you little about myself here, well I am a happy man who enjoys life in all its forms and surrounds myself with a great group of positive thinking friends who would do anything for me, and I would do anything for them in return. My job makes me enjoy being in a crowd at times, but I enjoy spending time with only a few people as well. I love to travel and see new places, so I try to travel as much as I can especially on official duties. I have learned to take life as it happens as I remember everything happens for a reason.
The type of woman who attracts me is honest, direct, and reliable - who can be my "pal". I like a woman who's playful one minute, and philosophical the next. Above all, companionship, honesty, and idealism appeal to me - and a sense of humor! My ideal partner should be a very passionate person who knows how to fully care for the man. Above all, should have a highly active imagination when it comes to trying new things more than most people. I like a woman who value the pleasures of romance and is not afraid to pursue those feelings when the timing is right. Also has a strong intellect, with a penetrating thought process and a continual curiosity about life. I like treating my partner well and also like to be treated as one.
My best colors are Red, Green, Purple and Yellow. I like sea food, maybe because I eat it all the time. Originally, I am America..... My father is from US and my mother is Czech republic but they are late. My parents live in different country because of their work but I grow up with my mother, where I attained my Secondary and University degree certificate as a Mechanical Engineer.......... I love playing golf at my free times and as well go out sometimes to drink..... My idea partner should know how to truly enjoy life.
When I was young, my parents showed me so much love because I am the only child...... i was married to a Spanish woman and she died in a car wrecked accident..And i have a daughter and her name is Sandra. (I feel bad every time I talk about this ...sorry ) ........Ever since, I focused more on my job ....... For 13 yrs, I have been working as a Mechanical Eng in this Cargo ship and I also supply a company in Japan, Mexico Palm crude oil in tones......... The sea life have been so interesting and I enjoy most times the ship duck in Australia because we normal have break for 2 weeks to go around shopping, gaming and so on.
I am a hard working man and I have made life worth living for myself. All I want is a true love that will last forever..... Sincerely...... I want to be loved.... to fall asleep in your arms and wake up to your beautiful smile. , Here is my direct contact number (+1 612 928 5937) and i will love if you will send me some of your pics and your contact number so I can call you.

My Dearest, I was so much excited to read your mail and thanks so much for taking your time to write me in spite of your busy schedule. Content of mail well understood and noted.You are really an angel, i was reading your email with smile and happiness,
I wish that you were here or that I were there, or that we were together anywhere. How I wish I could be there with you, but distance has kept us apart. Apart physically, but in spirit, you are always in my heart. Friendship which has been tested by distance and obstacles, and has passed......that is true friendship. The test of true friendship is not when we are together. It comes when we are not together and realize that despite the distance, thoughts and feelings are still there. I just wish you could see how much you mean to me. God has reason for allowing things to happen.
Those who thank God even in every situation turn burden into blessings. My Dear, everyday I wake up thanking God for us. Because what started out as a internet contact between us has now turned into a strong bond between two friends who have now discovered the true meaning of friendship the natural way. To me, it is like time is purposely bending and stretching itself out so that it can play its part, in making us feel the joy of what it is to be real friends. All I know now, is that throughout this past few days, I have learned a lot from this friendship of ours and I have seen what it is like to give yourself completely to the other person when you're so far apart. The most important thing I have learn, among many more things, is to trust and to be sincere to you.
From the day I came across your profile, I knew that you would turn out to be a good friend and you have more than proved that. Whenever you think of me, please know that no matter how many miles separate us or how much of our lives comes between us, you are and always will be the true friend I desired all this years. I thank God for giving me the privilege to meet you. Though the miles separate us, the bond we have is far stronger. You are the very one I have spent all these few years looking for. And now that I have found you.....no distance can separate us. For now, I am contented with the progress we've made and I assure you that with time..our communication rate will improve. Thanks for making my life so much more meaningful and giving me a reason to live again. I would have love to continue but I feel tired and we have sailed out and now and my eyes are heavy with sleep.Take care and always remember me and the crew members in your prayers. Hug and kisses.

thank you for you lovely caring,
can you tell me more about yourself, your country, your family and your job, i really want to learn more about you,

My Dearest It's the middle of the day and I was thinking about you, as usual. I want you to know how much I sincerely love the hours we spend communicating. It means so much to me. It truly seems like I've known you forever and I honestly can't imagine life without you now. There will be no looking back, no second thoughts and no regrets. I love you and only you ... and that love will only grow stronger. Thank you my sweet heart, what more can I say to you, allowing me to feel the warmth of your love across the great SEAS that separate us? You truly have no idea what I feel for you.
The name of my company is Cosco shipping company, is a very big company, my last destination is Japan and i will have my vacation as soon we get to Japan, i will be glad to meet you soon in person.
I am trying to put this feeling into words, but failing miserably. This feeling of being both scared and at peace, of having both butterflies and a sense of calm, is a feeling that I have only dreamed about. As the days continue to pass, my feelings for you will continue to grow. I never thought I had felt love to anybody as much as I do right now. I hope this feeling will continue to mature, growing beyond the realm of my heart. It seems that you have become the fiber of my soul, the very reason for my existence.
I really hope to meet you on my holiday. Sometimes life hits you with unexpected things that take you totally by surprise. All I can say is you're the best surprise life has given me and your capacity for love, caring, and understanding never ceases to amaze me. I've truly been blessed by finding you and I'll never let you go. I have no other words to describe the way you make me feel. No words, no actions could even come close. I believe that Ronald Regan said it best to Nancy in a letter, telling her only that, "I more than love you".
Their love was a strong love, surviving everything, even death. I believe that even after his passing, Nancy felt Ronald's love for her raining down upon her. That is why she has always seemed at peace after the death of such a truly loving husband. That is the love that I feel for you. i have attached more photo for you my angel , i hope to read your beautiful email soon. I am thinking of you now and listening to a music

My dear, A lot has been running through my head lately. I'm having trouble putting my thoughts into words so you will have to bear 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; 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.
Yes my love i was also planing to meet you, and i am willing to meet you and spend a special and beautiful time with you, i already meet Sandra last vacation so i will be glad to meet you, honestly I'm really deeply in love with you
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 lay 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 .
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 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 with you with an undying passion (sorry to be so blunt). I want to cook a meal with you and us totally ruin it and end up doing take out. 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 burst 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 the sales rep to get embarrassed when we sit in them and make sure we have enough room to do the things we want to do. I want our friends to come over and get totally jealous because they don't share a love like we do.
I want 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 a thing 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 until I met you. I really am crazy about you, everything about you. Love always.

TodayJeffery Both
My Dearest When I open my pc to read your email and see your mails I was so much excited and happy. Baby it is now I know there are still angels on earth. You are a paragon of beauty. Baby sorry for my late response and how are you today? I really miss you and it was nice meeting you. Golden face you have, Baby, my heart is calling out for you. Being miles apart from you is like salt dripping on an open wound. I never thought I could love someone so much as I love and think much of you......even though we are far apart. My heart seems to grow fonder of you with every seconds..... of this great distance that separates us. I know that some decisions are hard to make, but when affection and love prevail over any other interests, then all the roads to happiness become wide open and danger free. First of all, I would like to make sure you know that I love you very much even though we have not met each other and that you are the most wanted and the most desired person than anyone could possibly be.
My dear, I also need you to know that there`s nothing more beautiful in the world than what is happening between us right now; I feel we are growing closer and getting along really well. I feel we are becoming more intimate in every sense, and that`s the most gratifying thing two human beings could wish for.
That is why I need to remind you even if that takes a simple e-mail, that you don`t have to be afraid on anything, as close and united partners. Distance, like you may have known, doesn't matter if you really love the person, what matters most is your honesty and trust for that relationship to work out. Distance is the key to love's eternity and love knows not distance, it hath no continent, its eyes are for the stars.
Even if you are far away, you are always close to my heart. It's good that we are far away because we learn the patient to wait for each other and cherish our love. I long for the day I'll dream of your love no more, when your lips will caress mine for real, when your touch will make me alive again, and the sight of you arouses all my senses. Though the miles may spread out far and wide, and time may wear our faith too thin, I know that the golden bond of love shall keep us close at heart.
However far away, I will always love you. However long I stay, I will always love you. Whatever words I say, I will always love you. Even if it takes eternity, I will always love you. Distance between two hearts is not an obstacle, rather a great reminder of just how strong true love can be. You are my shinning star.
Ever since I read your email, I have been thinking with affection of the moment we will see each other, and satiate all this desire that has taken over us in such an intense but wonderful way. Having a dream about you yesterday night has never happened to me before, i had a dream that i was holding you ,kissing you ,just as we where romancing i woke up to see myself kissing my pillow, oh my God what is this ,i wish i had a dream of me holding my pillow and wake up kissing you that would have been wonderful.
My baby, Have a wonderful day ahead and may God bless you and keep you. May His light be always with thee. May He keep you safe from harm, and shield you and your family from all wrong. May He grant you His peace. May He guide you on your way. Bring you joy with each new day. Hug and Kisses.

Welcome to Scamwarners Web 2.0 expert,

Yes, you are correct to feel suspicious. It is a scammer who is copying and pasting stolen poems and love letters from the internet to you. Typical romance scammer script. His writing skills do match his education level. His writings appear to be someone who learned English in West Africa.

Please contacta moferatorstor if you have a question or information about this post.



Please do not tell the scammer he is posted here.


Please remember the fallen. https://www.odmp.org/
