[Philip Quinlan]

Do any other of the males on this board receive what I shall call "Natasha Emails"?

A Natasha email is an email (purporting at least to be) from a nubile 27 year old Russian girl who is desperate to find an English (or American, Australian) mate. There is a shortage of Russian men apparently - sober ones anyway.

The language of them is fascinating and I think there is an amusement, if not a drill, in there somewhere. What if the the hapless 51 year old romantic, driven by flattery, responds in like manner?

Some samples from a recent missive:

"At first I wish to be present" [Tr. Let me introduce/describe myself to you]
"I want to have the relation" [Poss Tr. I wish to engage in incest?]
"they gave me yours e-mail the address and spoke that you search yourself the woman" [Tr. Apparently you do not have a bodyguard to do this for you]
"would you like to begin dialogue and relations with me" [Tr. Or we could talk afterwards if you'd prefer]
"It is possible I ask you very fragile person" [ Tr. God alone knows...]

How about it chaps?
