    Here is an email I received recently. I have copied and pasted it verbatim.
    ------------------

    I`m a professional writer and I`m going to change your lifes onсe and for all Writing has been my passion for a long time and now I can`t imagine my life without it.

    Most of my poems were sold throughout Canada, USA, China and even Russia. Also I`m working with services that help people to save their nerves.

    People ask me "Sir, Elizabeth Frost, I need your professional help" and I always accept the request, `cause I know, that only I can solve all their problems!

    He's a poet. That's how they write. Email him back (with your credit card information to show you are serious). :Biggrin

    That may be true or not JOJ but nothing can compare to what you and I have, according to this song I've led in church... Brother Glen:)

    "I'd Rather Have Jesus" Lyrics [edit]
    by Selah | from the album You Amaze us


    I’d rather have Jesus than silver or gold
    I’d rather be His than have riches untold
    I’d rather have Jesus than houses or lands
    I’d rather be led by His nail-pierced hand

    CHORUS:
    Than to be the king of a vast domain
    And be held in sin’s dread sway
    I’d rather have Jesus than anything
    This world affords today

    I’d rather have Jesus than men’s applause
    I’d rather be faithful to His dear cause
    I’d rather have Jesus than worldwide fame
    I’d rather be true to His holy name

    CHORUS

    He’s fairer than lilies of rarest bloom
    He’s sweeter than honey from out the comb
    He’s all that my hungering spirit needs
    I’d rather have Jesus and let Him lead

    Sir? Elizabeth? That's a head scratcher.

    There once was a poet online,
    Whose work was exceedingly fine.
    They wrote InTheLight,
    And explained his plight:
    "My gender you'll never define."

    After reading your poem I remember
    Confusing and who is the sender?
    Wresting in my mind
    I couldn't define
    Then Sir, Elizabeth, must be transgender!... Brother Glen:Biggrin

    Well, looks like you guys may be able to give Sir Eli a run for his money and change lifes working with services that help people save their nerves. I hear the best markets are in Canada, USA, China and even Russia.

    But first you may need to change your names to something like Emily Poe or Julia Ward Chaucer. Skip George Eliot, as it’s already taken, and too obvious anyway.

    Then just start sending out e-mails to people who likely need your professional help. You can start with some guy named InTheLight. He’s sure to post your solicitation in prominent places.

    Let us know if Elizabeth is really the only one who can solve all their problems! We're all just dying to know.:Wink

    That poetry scam makes me wince,
    Just like the Nigerian prince.
    My entire inbox
    Is but scams and rogue bots,
    And one lonely meme of Mike Pence.
