I received two very interesting emails today. Interesting is an understatement.

I've gone the route of online dating for 4 months straight and until a few weeks ago never encountered any strange people. In the last 3 weeks or so I've hit them all.

Here's the first letter! Did any of you get it as well? Obviously a form letter:
********************************************************************************************'
The first time my heart was broken I thought I was through; I swore I'd never love again and believe me this was true.But am tired of loneliness.I don't need anyone to take advantage of my weaknesses or my strengths, I need someone who will appreciate me for everything that I am.
Love is hard to find, but once its found you won't regret it.Are you still single? Do you like being single? Do you believe in true love? The biggest obstacle of love is the fear of not being loved.
Am Gary, male,40, caucasian. Am a widower,and i do volunteer work in africa. my email address is ****************** and my yahoo chat id ************
MY UNDERSTANDING OF LOVE IS.....,To love someone is to understand each other, to laugh together, to smile with your heart and to trust one another.Love, an emotion so strong that you would give up everything. To just feel it once, to know that you are part of something special. To know that you can feel what love really is; to know, to feel, to love.And i think the purity and trueness of love through an Internet relationship far passes that of one based on physical contact.i will be back home in a few weeks and would like to get to meet you in person.
i will delete my profile from this dating site after i have sent you this, so please dont reply me on this dating site again email me ******************* chat with me ***********

******************************************************************************************
Here's the second.....equally as odd: Incidentally this guy is 24 years old...I'm in my 40's (ahem)
******************************************************************************************
Well I read your profile, and I know I'm younger then you but I really believe that age isn't important, so I thought I'd email you. I'm looking for a long term relationship, and marriage down the line. I want someone that I can share experiences with, I want to go back to europe within this year, and I'd really like to take someone with me. I dont know if your that someone, but I'd certainly like to find out. I dont lie, I dont cheat, I love children, and I do have a sensitive side that I'd love to share with you.
If you'd like to email please do at: ****************

I'd advise you to immediately remove any personal contact information from your post.
