The monkey made me do it

Coming to America

I got this from a random website that I have an old account on, and am wondering if it's the latest Nigerian internet scam (I wouldn't help them wire their Swiss bank accounts, so now they want to make out with me?). It's not spam, it was sent to an address that doesn't get automated replies. It's a mystery - a big, questionable, foreign, misspelled ball of enigma.

Beware, sketchy grammar ahead:

I sent him a response asking for his picture and more information, so we'll see what happens with this dude/robot/marketing collective. Hopefully I'll end up with a Nigerian mail-order husband!
