Im sorry but it all seems odd to me, you understand me i hope? and with all those scams on the internet i somehow dont trust you:)

One more thing, im getting the alert from gmail: "This message may not have been sent by: [email protected]", i know what it means, but if you dont know check out this site: http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answ ... wer=185812 maybe you will understand better why i dont trust you, and especially if you read this: "
