The Untalented Mr Woodrow

by Uche Nworah

I’m having a bad day at work, my nerves are barely holding together as a result of work pressure and this creepy moron’s email pops up again on my mail box, I have been spamming his emails since 2004 but he or she keeps opening new ones. What sort of stupid and ludicrous proposal is this? He appears to be getting more desperate and now chain emails, sometimes storming my box with 5 emails at a time. I’m really going crazy with this chap and wish I could just grab his neck some how.

I have tried calling his number (08036743028) to give him a piece of my mind but haven’t been able to get through, I’m now wondering if maybe its just me, am I being paranoid or is there anyone out there that is also being harassed by this fool? This jerk can see from my name that I’m Nigerian, and that I would never fall for his con because I’m not a mugu, but for some reasons he won’t give up. Does anybody please have any ideas how I can disentangle myself from the stupid Mr Woodrow?

Unlike the smart Matt Damon in the scam movie The Talented Mr Ripley, Mr Woodrow is very untalented in his game, he has been sending me the same message now for months, maybe it is the non-personal nature of his proposals that is getting to me, and I’m tired of reading the same rubbish from him. If he was smart he should have tried something new and see if I would fall to his bait.

Below is Mr Woodrow’s storyline.

That was either the funniest or the saddest thing I have ever read. If you have not already corrected this concern, try sening the same irratating form of email back. Over and over again. Put it on your list of thngs to do right after you come out the smallhouse. LMAO. PS I really enjoy your articles..have a stellar day.
