Ok let me tell you what happened..bear with me.
I work at Wal-mart 3rd shift(no laughing), anyway, one night I was working, some Australian guy came up to me(VERY thick accent) and asked if anyone could mix him some paint. I said ok, let me find the person in hardware. so I paged her on the paging system, and waited there until she came to the dept. he started talking to me about stupid stuff, just small talk, he asked if i went to school, i said no. at this point, i don't really know what id want to do, so i dont go to college right now. anyway, he started talking about how he could get me into school, basically pay my way through whatever school i wanted. of course, i just sorta nodded and was very polite. i just kept thinking he was nuts or whatever. he asked for my email address, i didn't want to give him my real one so i gave him my junk email, just to get off that subject. he gave me his, which i threw away when i went on break. so more blah blah blah and the person in hardware came out and got him his paint, i went back to work, thought nothing of it.
so a few days later, maybe a week, this dude comes BACK. i guess he was buying oil or whatever for his car, i saw him, and tried to avoid him because he more or less creeped me out, he was nice and all but i got a very odd feeling from him. but, he saw me, came over and asked if i emailed him, i told him no i was busy all week. so i told him i had to get back to work, and he went on. again, thought nothing of it. so then I get this odd email in my Yahoo box which i checked today, I rarely look at that inbox, but i thought i'd look. so there is a freakin email from some friend of this guy, which you can read for yourself below. all i did was find someone to mix freakin paint for him.
do you guys think i should just blow this off, or is there something i should/could do? i am a bit weirded out now. here's the email:
<< Hi Matt! You have a great name! Ha Ha Ha I see that you met the Australian, huh? My name is Matthew Chatelain. I am one of his legal eagle`s as he puts it. You know him as Jeff, and we as well, but we affectionately call him Smokey here at Cedarwood, his Colorado home. I do not know just how well you know him, but from what he has told me, I am guessing "not well". Let me tell you a little bit about him,okay? He is an Australian Royal for starters, who made his main home here in the U.S. He flew for the U.S. Air Force, married an American girl and fathered an adorable little boy. their names were Tanya and Christopher, respectfully. Smoke lost a 9yr. old friend to cancer in `83 and embarked on a cross country oddessy from New York to L.A., visiting children`s hospital`s as he walked west. That`s right, walked! Took him 11 months. During that time, he lost his wife and son to a drunk driver. If you ask him about it, he will tell you I am certain. He is usually such a shy person, but from what he has said in regards to you, I know that he thinks so highly of you,and for that reason alone, and there are many others son, I know that he will open up to you if you ask him anything. Smoke also recently lost his only living relative, his mother, who was an American. He also has a rare form of leukemia son, and though he has been in remission, it has made an appearance again and he refuses to go through the cobalt and chemotherapy because he has no marrow donor. He has been such an inspiration , always wanting to do for others, you understand? He is an exceptional friend, very loyal and very kind. He is also a great listener. He has never passed judgement on anyone, and can talk himself out of any jam. He is a hit with the ladies, but he is more annoyed by the attention. Smoke has asked that I obtain basic information from you and draft up an affidavit to include you in his "will and testiment", in the event of his death. He has asked that you be taken care of in terms of securing an education and that you be given full right and privilages to Cedarwood and his native Australia. You think that you have not made an impression on him? He has never done that before. And, according to him, it is because you had gone way out of your way to help him one night. He lives a private life alone. I do not like that myself, as he is harassed alot and is just way too passive with people. So, it is my duty to carry out Smoke`s wishes, hence, I`ll ask you if all of this is okay with you, that you give me your full name, mailing address, city and state, zip, ph. #, soc. sec. # (that is optional Matthew It is to help me identify you - as you, when that time comes), and your D.O.B. That should do it! There is so much more that you may want to know. Please, feel comfortable asking me anything if you have any questions, or you can call Smoke locally at (xxx)-xxx-xxxx. He has been bugging me to get this document drafted and certified in the Federal Court. Again, if there is anything that I can do to help you , please let me know. Thank You! >>
