New Girlfriend

Someone evidently thinks I'm in need of a new girlfriend -- a rather forward and barely literate one, I'm left to assume, based on the email I got today:

Hi gorgeous,
Your friend give me your email cause he says you looking
for girlfriend. Hope we can out for a dating and we begin from
there ok?

Send me email asap if you got
time at xxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx

muahh....muahhh

I'd like to take this opportunity to kill any number of irritating birds with one stone by issuing the following public service announcement:  I am not currently in the market for any OEM software, department store gift cards, "free" brand-name purses or -- for heaven's sake -- a new girlfriend. Oh, and thanks for thinking of me, but I really don't need any penis enhancement pills either.

Muahh.
