Strange acquaintance. Native speaker?

[janic]

Hi all!
Since this post isn't about FSUW I decided to post in the "Odds and Ends" section...

The following quotes have been written by a woman who claims to be native US-American and now living in GB. I have severe doubts about her being genuine...

Thanks for your nice response,as i told you earlier on my last mail i sent to you on [SITE],i told you i am not always in [SITE] due to my kind of work...

I am mixed,my mother from Leicester here in united Kingdom and my father from Washington Seattle...i live all my life in WA but sometimes  visit my mother in united kingdom during holidays..my parents were never together,work keeps them distance to each other but always on visit....

So i had more upper hands in Great Britain army,so that was how i joined the army after my university education..i had love for military since childhood,so i made up my mind to be an army...

[...]

.i also find interest in blues,but more of movies,cooking after work and leisure as an indoor activity.I have always wanted interesting person to be with and talk with.i see we have all in common..my interest,plans and view about life is comfort,fun,happiness and bright future..

IMO the text contains a lot of strange errors, especially when I consider that the originator claims to have a University-education...

Can she [or he  ] possibly be a native speaker? Enlighten me!

One more thing: I got in contact with that person on a site which isn't about FSUW; so I would discard the classic RU-scam-scheme.

Such as:
"So i had more upper hands in Great Britain army" ??? ??? ???

Hardly, I'd say.

Could be Nigerian ?

Yep, probably it's some form of scam, because s/he started including me into her evening-prayers in his/her 4rd eMail and feels such strong bonds between us....

"I even want to learn about the secrets you very rarely share with someone!. So come on and share it all with me, as I am not here to talk to you about general things such as partying, the weather, sports, e.c.t. I want to learn about you and what makes up your heart and soul, as the friendship I want to build with you I want it to be like no other you have ever shared in or experienced. This friendship I want to build with you will be filled with substance, quality, spirituality and potential."

Maybe it's a new trick the Chinese try to gather intelligence and secrets from NATO personnel... LOL!


I'm not sure at all if I'm eager to experience that friendship... Still wondering if I should sting him/her along for a while to find out what scam is going to be tried on me but I lack time and a bit of initiative. Btw: No results on Google for the senders eMail...

Some native speakers will write worse. However some things seem to indicate a non-native speaker, Sandro might be right here.
