Excellent, Deebs.
In the meantime, wondering if I might come to Maine and stay in your farmhouse and learn from you everything you know about voiceover.

10 grand for food! what the heck to nigerians eat???

One handful of rice... one godamme root... and six ounces of cattle blood. Cook over an open flame for about an hour... serve hot. It's called Mombaka, and is considered quite tasty.

No one is an island as long as they are on at least one mailing list.

Well, there's no need to get snippy! Smile If you don't want to be scammed, just tell us, and we'll scam someone else!

I, for one, feel very left out...what am I doing wrong that they Nigerians don't want ME to coach them????? Cry

I bet they'd get a kick out of this reply:

Thank you. You may deduct my $850 fee from your initial $18000 payment. If you feel you cannot follow this procedure, you do not have to proceed further.

Is there an "Unscam" option to reply?

Wonder why she capitalized her name this time.

You guys must have all received your notices late or something. I have this gig locked up.....The Nigerians are here at my house now. We have been enjoying the most enjoyable of dinners and have been playing a bit of tennis... to pass the time between "Sally Sells Sea Shells" drills.

Man, those Nigerians can really play a mean game of tennis...and don't forget the Bocce Ball. Yikes!

Well....off to some more drills. Today, were learning how to speak clearly and effectively even after you have been nailed in the face with a tennis ball repeated times and have a swollen lip........and also how to spell the word "their" or something. It's a shame I won't be able to partake in the Filet Mignon tonight.

Sorry you all missed out on this sweet gig!
