Dear Friend,
As much as this hurts to do, I have to ask for help.
Let me explain !
Im the poorest excuse for a human being ever.Im unemployed, uneducated, and uninsurable.In addition you wont look at me for very long Im unattractive actully down right ugly.I try every day to get a job but at 48 with no skills and no personality all the doors shut.For 35 years I tried to drink myself away, and almost succeded,but even at like the rest of my wortless self I failed. now the Doctors say I have to start cheomtherapy for the liver but I have no insurance.Im not a bad person I dont drink anymore or do bad things. I have thought of things like chain letters and such but I know its wrong and I wont do bad things, but I need help could you please send some money!! anything !! It would help I dont know what else to do but ask.I cant promise anything in return I dont have anything nor does it look like i will .
At least its honest im not promising anything or lying !! Please reach into your heart! you will really be helping just one person. here is my name and adress.If you like,include your E-mail adress and I do promise to tell you how much money is sent
Thank You For Listnening
