This is a message directed at the hundreds of single guys who read this blog daily. A good friend of mine… Well, we’ve only just met recently, but she’s sent me a couple of dozen emails since last night so it feels like we’ve been friends for ages… Anyway, this lovely young woman – Oksana is her name (wasn’t that a song by Toto?) – contacted me to very kindly suggest that we could perhaps form a deep and meaningful relationship. I’m obviously not available, but I thought I could put the call out to see if any of my contacts are interested.
Now, Oksana’s English isn’t perfect. Her native tongue is Russian, but let me tell you – her English is better than my Russian, da! But I had no trouble understanding her email (actually, I may have misunderstood the part about giving her my credit card number – that seems a tad unnecessary)

Oksana
As you can see from the photo, Oksana’s a lovely, presentable young woman, and she has excellent computer skills (as evidenced by the millions of emails I suspect she sends daily).
Anyway, if any of you single guys are interested, please contact me and I’ll pass on your details to Oksana.
I thought her name was olga and she was only after my husband!
Hi Judith,
You must be thinking of someone else. Oksana is a lovely lady, not out to steal anyone’s husband. I think.

G’day Stewart,
I love the way you have presented this article. You have a great Aussie sense of humour.
Back in 1999/2000 I had a real internet relationship with a woman from Canada. She even worked hard, saved her money and came to Australia to spend time with me. We became engaged and she returned to Canada to arrange her immigration. I was diagnosed with cancer and when I rang and told her she broke off the enbgagement and went her merry way.
I beat the cancer so she missed out on living with a great man. 😎
