Not to intrinsically disagree with everyone here, but this at least bears a=
bit of investigation. Snopes didn't seem to indicate it's a common hoax wh=
en I searched on some of the text.
That said, it is likely to be Spam, but perhaps she should be forwarded to =
APO-Philippines. Maybe it's a serious inquiry. Perhaps not.=20
However, have we all become so jaded to this sort of thing? That this is no=
t possible to be an innocent request misdirected that we refuse it as a pos=
sibility?
