Default Need your help...

This posting is a request for your help in the form of financial
contributions of any kind. It is not a scam or scheme of any sort, but
rather a honest-to-goodness plea for your understanding and help.

At one point or another we all find ourselves down and out, at the bottom
if you will. It may be financial, it may be emotional, or in some cases it
may be both. More often than not, those that are trying to navigate their
way through the bad times do so alone, never seeking or asking for the
assistance they require.

I need your help, and I am not too embarrassed or afraid to ask for it. I
am at the bottom and need help getting up. And, although you do not know me
and I do not know you, I can feel comfortable asking because I have always
answered any honest requests for help that found there way to my ear.

Now before I go on please recognize that I am not living on the street, I
am not without any means, I am not without the ability to work and generate
income, and I am most certainly not without the ability to heal the
emotional scars that are being created in my life. No, my bottom is
different.

No, I am just your average guy with an average income who happens to be
have been dealt some blows financially and emotionally thanks to what has
become an unfortunately all-to-common situation these days - the dissolution
of a marriage.

I need your help because my kids are the most important people in my life
and I find that I need more than my regular income right now to provide the
home they require. Being unable to do so is my emotional bottom. If I cannot
provide for my children, than I might as well be living on the street.

If you have the ability, please help by contributing what you can via
PayPal. Understand, this is not a charitable contribution, this is not tax
deductible - this is something you can do to help another human being
directly. And, if you do so, you can go to bed knowing that you made a
difference in my life.


To make a donation follow the link below...

And under Recipient's Email address put my email - .

And if you wish too, please drop me a note at the same email address to let
me know that you made a donation. The least I can do is to say thank you!

Thanks in advance to those who can help and choose to do so!

- Jay

Well, I'm just going to bed, g'nite.

I'll sleep well knowing that the fifty bucks in my wallet is safe.

Such a nicely written scam letter!

Sell your computer, jackass. Then, with all the time you'll save on
cyber-panhandling, you can get a second job.

And you wouldn't want to go to the bank because you'd have to pay it back,
right?

Then use those means and get off your sorry cyberbegging ass. Sorry but if
I had any spare cash, there are a hundred thousand plus tsumani victims
that need it a hell of a lot worse than you. And they probably don't have a
computer like you do.

The biggest problem with this message is that he is going to get money from some dumb bleeding hearts anyway.... and it is legal... all he did was ask.. he is not coercing anyone in anyway...
This probably is his 'second job'...
