My College's very "interesting" pen-pal programme

We have been asked to have pen-pals in France, but instead of doing it through the normal barriers of a long term relationship with a school in france, we were given a web address (which I can't remember now) to put an advert up askin for french speaking pen-pals to contact us.
Now check out the e-mail I just received....

I'm sorry but that email is quite funny.

That is actually quite good, maybe an email prank?

try sticking your name in google and see what turns up.

I know of someone who had their details put as a joke on some penpal site and they got a letter from this guy who was in prison, when he got released he turned up one day at her work but luckily she managed to get rid of him.
Penpal sites are scary, just hope no idiot ever puts your address online.

One advice, always create another email address for such things like that, I have over 11 email addresses which I use for various things, and this is one if I am in your position I would get that email off the site.

"thanks to GOD,later on ....!!Husband and Wife"

I'm sorry but that is hilarious :biggrin:
