I received the same email. It could be a scam, but so far nothing has been asked for. Could be that Somebody is trying to gain access to your site.
I dumped it immediately. |

| since all he's asking for is some learning material help, i would think he's just smart enough to try to get some help for free. doesn't sound like a terrorist to me...but those australians can be weird! |

Chris.....
if you are painting all Aussies with the same brush......We....ll....I might just sell up and come move in next door to you !!!!.....then you'd find out what Weird was all about !!! 
Ron....my dear long lost Cousin....I have promised my familly a holliday...so we should be arriving next week...we'll park the Camper Van on the front lawn....the seven kids shouldnt be all that much trouble once they settle down and get used to Town living.....Granny is a bit of a problem as she likes to take her clothes off and go for long walks in any direction....but we will notify the police...besides there probably arent many 90 year old ladies in your area that are tattoed over almost all of their body.
Dont worry about flushing toilets as we just use a bucket behind a bush and then throw it on the vegie patch....and as far as the goat goes...Well...I will try to keep it tethered and under control.....but you know what goats are like
See you next week
Your Cuz
Tony
P.S....I have my own Still built on to the back of the camper and will bring the "Makings" as well as my old Banjo...so we should have a "High" old time.....can only stay for a short while......say Six months or so as we have a few other people to visit

Wow, Tony, you make a visit from an Austrailian sound like fun. Do you know if there is anywhere I could rent and Aussie for a visit. Actually, from your description Aussies sound a lot like Floridians.
