Hi Marina,

It's so good to hear from you.  I lost your email address and phone number shortly after I got off the bus.  As it turns out, writing down important info onto a burger wrapper with ketchup does not work well.  I hope you made it all the way to Tulsa.  I was pretty sad to leave you on the bus, but I had only bought a ticket to Memphis and I needed to say hi to my duck friend at the Peabody Hotel.  When I got there, he pretended like he didn't know me.  I'm pretty sure it was him, but the ducks all look alike to me.  His name is Willard (I think).  I have attached a photo of him and his friends.
That's him at the back of the line.

Thank you for sending a picture of yourself.  It's been a long time and the bus had tinted windows so I couldn't see you really well.  Looks like your hair has gotten very long and straight.  You are very pretty in that picture.  I want to say sorry again for getting motion sick on the bus and throwing up on you.  I don't remember you waking up between when that happened and my stop, but I tried to gently soak it up with some of your clothes from that big bag you put overhead.  Your sweater seemed to work the best.  It was pretty chunky and I'm guessing that if you let it dry, you could just shake it out real good and it would be fine.  Did you shake it out?

I hope everything is good for you.  Did you say you are in Russia now?  I think that is far away.  How did you get there?  Write back soon.  I really miss watching you sleep.

-Stan

Request

Hello,
 
Sorry to bother, but I had a sudden trip out of the country to Greece to see my ill cousin, she is suffering from kidney disease and must undergo transplant to save her life. The surgery is very expensive here, so I want to transfer her back home to have the surgery implemented. I really need to take care of this now but my credit card can't work here. I traveled with little money due to the short time I had to prepare for this trip and never expected things to be this way right now. I need a loan of $1,500 from you and I'll reimburse you at my return. I will really appreciate whatever amount you can come up with if not all, get back to me I'll advise on how to transfer it.
 
Thanks,
Russell Bittner

Hey Russell,

You are quite the traveler!  I'm glad to see you got out of that hotel room.  I'm sorry to hear that you didn't learn anything in the process.  That sucks for your cousin.  Kidney disease is a bitch.  What credit card do you use?  Is it Diner's Club?  My mother has one of those.  It's not accepted anywhere you want to be.

Good luck!

PS - your email got hacked again (by the same guy)

WOW!

Hotel stuff

Hello Russell,

My friend forwarded your email to me because she is stuck at a hotel bathroom.

Here is the message you sent, incase you want to read it again...

I really hope you get this fast. I could not inform anyone about my trip, because it was impromptu. i had to be in Manila  Philippines for a program. The program was successful, but my journey has turned sour. i misplaced my wallet and cell phone on my way back to the hotel i lodge in after i went for sight seeing. The wallet contained all the valuables i had. Now, my passport is in custody of the hotel management pending when i make payment.
I am sorry if i am inconveniencing you, but i have only very few people to run to now. i will be indeed very grateful if i can get a loan of $2,239, from you. this will enable me sort my hotel bills and get my sorry self back home. I will really appreciate whatever you can afford in assisting me with. I promise to refund it in full as soon as I return. let me know if you can be of any assistance. Please, let me know soonest. Thanks so much..

Russell (Bittner)

Have you checked your other pants pocket?  Sometimes I switch pockets when I'm traveling.  It throws off potential thieves and when i get really drunk, I can't find my wallet and think it got stolen and I go back to my hotel and cry and write drunken emails to strangers asking them for money.

I have one of those iPhone things and they have a cool app so that you can find it if you leave it somewhere.  Have you tried calling yours?  Has anyone answered it?

Your request for $2,239 seems pretty specific.  Can you itemize that for me?  I like to know where all my money is going.  Also, where are you staying?  I'm guessing they have some computers, so it's not a complete dump.  Is it a Sandals Resort?  Those are great from what I've heard.  You can drink watered down cocktails all day and never have to tip.  A friend of mine got married at one of those places.  He drank through the whole thing and never threw up.  I'm guessing you are pretty drunk right now based on the gramatical issues in your email.

Hey good luck getting out of that hotel and getting your passport back.

And if you're not really Russell, you might want to change your email password.  You might also want to upgrade to something other than AOL.  Seriously.

Lunch time for me!  Gonna go get a burrito!

Sorry, guy. As you correctly surmised, my account got hacked. But I've worked it out with AOL and changed my password.
This shit happens. Sorry for the inconvenience.
