Hi,

My name is Valentin. I have 25 years and I am student. I live with my mother in small Russian town. My mother have problem with eyes and can not see.

I work very hard to buy things of primary necessities for us, but my salary is very small.

During last months prices for gas, oil and electricity became very high and we can not use it to heat our home anymore. We have winter and weather very cold here already. We do not know what to do and we very afraid.

The only way for us to heat our home is to use portable wood burning stove which give heat with burning wood. We have many wood in our region, therefore this stove will heat our home all winter with minimal charges. But we cannot buy this stove in our local market because my salary is very small.

Thanks to free internet in our library and library computer I finded several addreses and decided to ask for help. May be you have any old sleeping bag, I will be very grateful to you if you donate it for us and send its to our address. I will give it to my mother so she can be in warm

Please let me know if you can help and I will give you our address.

Valentin.
Russia.

Actually I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of spam talking about Nigeria comes from Russia. :P

I love it when they can't understand the concept that in English you don't state that you "have" a certain amount of years, you merely are that number of years.

Well, stating your age is one of the first things kids learn in English (at lkeast in Poland here). So that scammer is probably 6 years old

Talk about child labor!

Little and poor Elena from Russia wrote me the same letter.
I sent her 100 dollars and I bought her a new sleeping bag and a new Berseker Axe +3 to cut wood.

You guys are bad

, she need our help, now her momy loves me and finally Elena can cut all the trees she wants.
Peace and love and happy XMas.
