Received the following (unsolicited) e-mail today. Unfortunately we don't have a spare one other wise I would have chucked it in the back of the car and whipped it over to them tomorrow afternoon!
We get a few 'scammy' type e-mails but I can't see the point of this. Anyone else had anything similar or any thoughts as to what the idea is. Just a begging letter perhaps?
Hallo,
My name is Elena, I has 32 years and I write you from Russian province. I works in local bibliotheca and I permitted to use computer afterwards I finish work if possible. We are having serious problem and I send you this message in despair and hope.
I have daughter Anghelina, she has 8 years old, her father abandoned us and we live together with my mother.
As outcome of deep crisis recently my mother losed job (market where she was used to work has been ruined) and our position became dramatic.
Cost for gas and electricity is very high in our region and we cannot use it to heating our home any more.
It is very cold already in our province and temperature becoming colder each day. We very disturbed and we have not experience how to do.
The only possibility for us to heat our home is to use transportable wood burn oven which give heat with burning wood (fire). We have plenty wood in our administrative district and this oven will provide heat for our domicile completely all winter with minimal price.
Regrettably, we cannot buy this oven in our local market since it price 8144 rubles (equivalent about 191 Euros) and we cannot collect too much money.
If you have any old transferable wood-firing oven and if you terminated to use it, we will be very glad if you can give it to us and organize transportation of this oven to our address (190 km from Moscow). That oven may be different and weight 100-150kg.
I wait for your answer.
Elena with family.
