I met you backstage Fresno Convention Center Theater when i was just a child. Must have been during the late 1970's. You liked my Popeye message shirt and took time to stop and talk to the only kid around. WOW! Thanks for being so real. Chance meeting you after your show was awesome enough but to see you interact so nicely with other stagehands was cool. Now I am the one on stage looking out at the audiences. I took up bass guitar and play the Beatles music with my drummer boyfriend who is the very famous Little Bear. We would like to meet you if you ever make it to-Humboldt county! toll- free 1-888-999-3111

Hi!!!! Met you last night at the Newark Airport, flight to Las Vegas. So nice to say hello to you, sorry I interupted your phone call. Hope to see you at MGM. You rock!!!

Met you in the airport bathroom in Tucson, and again on the airplane! you were so gracious. Forgot to tell you how much I love your work and admire your energy. Wish you would come to Minneapolis soon.

I saw you and met you in Tucson. I had a great time and was really impressed with your approachability. I got a great picture of us that I will keep on my desk with family photos and good memories. You never disappoint. I've followed you both in Tucson and Chicago as well as way back to the laughin days.

Thanks to you and to Jane for you brilliance.

Billie Kozolchyk |

Just came home from being a member of the privileged audience at Centennial Hall and want to tell you that you are a genius. Like you needed me to tell you. Thank you for bringing much laughter into this world where there is not much to laugh about. However, I am not very happy that you are only 9 months younger than I am and go bouncing around the stage as if you were Edith Ann's age. How dare you. When I play on the floor with my granddaughters, it takes me 3 moves to get up. And I work out!

I saw you in Denver in the Vagina Monologues and had a great time. I just found your website by accident. I am old enough to remember back when in your career and young enough to appreciate what a funny and great actor you are. Thanks for the memories.

Welcome to Tucson. I invite you to a tour of the Tucson Taco Trail, the finest eats in town. Can't wait to see your show tonight. This long time fan & talk show host would love to invite you for an interview on Food & Wine Radio Network sometime. Thank you for all of your brilliant, inspiring, funny, funny work. It makes a big difference in the world, all those ripples of laughter. What a wonderful gift. Thank you.

I just seen you on the Naples Princess I thought you looked marvelous. I wish I had the nerve to stop and say hello and how well I enjoy your comedy. Take Care

Josey |

Lily, A few years ago you met a woman, who the next day was having breast cancer surgery.you sent her flowers. And to fast forward we were having dinner before your show in Naples and she told us that story. She is celebrating her 70th birthday and we bought her a ticket to your show, not knowing the connection.what a thoughtful gesture on your part, and a wonderful gift in her memory bucket. We're having a party for her next month and would like an autographed picture for her. Her name is Carol and she's the big 70!!!
Thanks and great show, Josey

Kelly S. |

Lily, my friends and I got to see your show and meet you afterward in Naples. I was the one whose birthday it was a few months before. Ok so I was totally star struck and didn't even tell you how much I loved your show. Seeing you live was amazing; way better than I thought it was going to be and I had it so built up in my head I don't know how that is even possible! Your timing was impeccable. I knew I was watching pure genius.

Specifically, I enjoyed some of the more politically charged material in your show. I love that you threw in "War Games" for the Naples crowd (didn't I read somewhere that you had that originally on one of your TV specials and the network pulled the plug on it?). And the comments about becoming more like the heteros with gay marriage were hilarious!

Seeing your show and getting the chance to meet you was definitely the greatest birthday present I've ever gotten! I hope you'll come back to Southwest Florida again next year.

On a personal note, congratulations to you and Jane on 39 years (I meant to tell you that as well, damn that star-strukeness)! Also, I hope you had a great visit with your brother.

Sincerely,
Kelly

P.S. Please tell Jane I loved her New Year's predictions on wowOwow!

Lily, I have a favor to ask. Remember when you tried to give Ma Bell a wakeup call (that they ignored, to their demise) as Ernestine? Can you do something similar for banks? It's getting more and more obvious THEY don't care about what happens to their depositors and credit customers.

If anyone can, YOU can.

Thanks for everything

28 February 2010 - WA USA

Doug Lotz |

Lily-
I have loved you since I was a little eight year old queen doing Ernestine imitations in the late sixties!

I a writing because I remember seeing a documentary that included a commercial with Judith Beasley selling hair spray! She went through a car wash & I remember it being the most brilliant, funny bit I had ever seen! Now, I cant seen to find it anywhere! Is it available?

Would love to add it to my collection!

Hope you & Jane are well!
-Doug

Just saw you in Pensacola. Haven't seen you since The Search in Chicago years ago. Can't believe what great shape you're in since I am falling apart. Come home to Detroit once in a while. Couldn't get tickets for the meet and greet in Pensacola - so bummed. You're on my all-time favorite people in my life list. Thanks for all the laughs. p.s. I have dreams about celebrities a lot. You've been to my house for spaghetti.

I love Lily Tomlin - she always gives 100% and she's an inspiration. I always love to see her on screen, but I saw her on stage when I was a kid. I waited by the back door for an autograph, and she gave me one and was so great and professional, she's the definition of talent and grace.

darlin' lily- i was 1 of the 1st 'male' telephone operators at Ma Bell in 1978. i had adored you since laugh-in(at age 10)& thought it amusing to be in the 1st tsps offices replacing cord-boards. imagine my utter shock & ensuing fit of hysterics when i came to work the 1st day annie berg came from detroit to pontiac !!! she was so tiny, i could not see her but for the top of her 30 lb modified head-set & that oh so familiar voice & snorkle i'd grown up hearing on tv:-)

i had to go burn 1 to compose myself, as i was to be coaching her on new methods & procedures that day. we became good pals & she too adored you immensely. i'd love for you to share any memories from Ma Bell if time ever allows:-)
you & jane are brilliant & richard is a sweetheart-

That was an extraordinary thing for the Queen of Comedy to have said.

An anonymous misspelled letter, not "To Whom it May Concern", but "Deer Hollywood".

Cause for concern or news?

I am so excited that I have tickets to see your show in Pensacola, Fl on Saturday night. Although I have to come by myself as my husband is active duty military and is deployed away fro me, I am sure the night will be full of love and laughter to take my mind away. I can't wait!

Lily--do you remember me and Plug (my husband)? I was covering an appearance by you at East Texas State University back in the early 70's and we took you for a drink afterward, then saw you again in Dallas when you played the Fairmont. That was eons ago and we can't exactly say we're friends, perhaps acqaintances.anyway, to cut to the chase.you know we live in Paris, Texas.The National Childrens Health Institute is kicking off a VERY important 'longitudinal' (meaning womb through age 21) study across the U.S. that is already funded and in motion.they've announced it's coming, but they're going to announce the kick-off here in Lamar County (Paris is the county seat) and they've bumped the announcement date up by months.it will be sometime mid April.
I'm handling marketing for it, and I'm scheduling a press conference and it will be full of grant people and doctors.but I'm in desperate need of someone of stature to lure the press in from dallas for the press conference. Is there any way you could come down for it. I'll send date and time as soon as we firm that up, which could be this week.
I can't begin to describe how important the study is, it will affect children's health for the rest of this century.it will study environmental, cultural, geographical, genetics, everything that would affect a child's health.and the reason we 're needing a press conference is to 'position' the study in the public's eye as being incredibly important, because we have to have volunteers (100 from Lamar County, but they will be pulling in volunteers from all over the fifty states).
I hope you're free. I promise you a great dinner party while you're here with some terrific cooks and some sharp dinner conversation from the few liberals in town (this is bible belt N. E. Texas, the state that's home to a governor whose IQ is on a par with the shrub's.
If you can come, let me know.my home number is 903.784.4035, cell is 214.697.5877, or email me. Thanks isn't adequate. Let's just say the pedatric community will worship you for the rest of your life, as will I.

I treated six of my children to your performance at Appalacian State, Saturday night, Feb. 20th. Despite their range in ages, 37-18, every one of them laughed their asses off. The only folks laughing harder were my husband and me. You are brilliant, fabulous and flexible! My kids now think there is hope for me, age 62, and they wish I would STOP TALKING ABOUT THE CAKE! What can I say? Nice play, Shakespeare. We love you!

Stephen Vincent Hoag |

Hi, Lily, I saw you @ Chico State University in California a couple of years ago and I've had a couple of things in my head that I'd wanted to ask. The most interesting thing about your performances, to me, is the characters you invent and inhabit. They are funny, interesting and deep. Thanx for that. The second thing is I remember as a youngster watching several 'Lily Tomlin Specials' on TV. My mother used to do audio recordings to them before we all had VCRs and we'd listen to them as if they were comedy records. I have a video tape copy of one, but none of the others seem to be available. Do you think they ever will be? Thanx for your terrific performances!

Mary Jean Gordon |

Lily - how do you like working on Damages? I find each season to be really interesting, the new characters and actors and the great story line. Its a favorite program of mine and I wouldn't miss it, thanks to TIVO.

But I write because we share the same first name. Evidently you didn't much like Mary Jean either since you go by Lily. I wish I'd been smart enough at an early age to come up with a whole new name, so I settled on Jean, which I'm called to this day. About the only time I was Mary Jean was when I was in trouble with my mother. I guess I was Mary Jean a lot my first 18 years until I escaped. I only found you are/were Mary Jean when I checked you out on Wikipedia because I was curious as to your age.I was born in 1941.July 4th as a matter of fact.

The only other Mary Jean I've ever heard about was one of Eisnhower's grand daughters and my first thought when I heard they named her Mary Jean was something on the order of.you poor kid.

Thank you for all your years of entertaining us. We're all the happier for it. God bless.Jean

Lily and Jane, Hi it's your Tennessee friend, now living in Pensacola.
Remember when you came through the Atlanta airport on your way to the Knoxville World's Fair in 1982? (I'm showing my age !!)
Looking forward to your show next Saturday night. Please email me. Thanks!

Michele |

I, too, saw you at the Tennessee Theatre in Knoxville last night. My mother wrote (illegibly), "to say hi to Wilma and Michele from Mass."

I just loved the show. We had seen you at the Wang Center in Boston when I was in high school. It is incredible how you move in and out of characters so fluidly. I am a sign language interpreter and often have to sign what two or more people are saying. I always think of how you delineated the characters so many years ago in The Search for Signs of Intelligent Life in the Universe. You are amazing. Thank you for the show.

Lily, I saw you in concert 02-19-10 and totally enjoyed your humor as everyone else in the world does. My question to you is, "Have you ever thought about being on stage with Ellen?"
You are delightful and I hope you are as happy as you make others!

MistressOfTheNews |

While I'm waiting for Ms. Tomlin to read her website, here are some things I'd like to share with you all.

"What is the true measure of a man?"

I asked a similar question once, and was told something very enlightening.

"Don't go there babe."

Heap 'em good advice.

---------------------------------------

"I'm 42, single and in musical theater. Do the math!" I just hear these things. Now, they didn't call Liberace Mr. Showmanship for nothing. He was helluva piano player! He liked his mother - ALOT! This fellow was running around in all but coronation robes. His were made from ermine! He was very proud of that. Not something I can forget. I can't! There is now a museum devoted to his memorobilia. I didn't learn until recently there were a few suspicions. When you find the very first clue. Let me know. In the meanwhile, give my regards to Broadway. "I'm 42, single and in musical theater. Do the math!" Turn the t-shirt over. "Oh, wait." Or Rupaul. Which explains where that particular argument is these days. "Moisturize, moisturize, moisturize!" These are remarkable garments indeed!

----------------------------

I was trying to figure out what this woman's legacy is, when there it was. Smack dab in the middle of a less than thoughtful documentary on Diana, the Princess of Wales. (And there is another word for this particular unauthorized tour. Look it up!)

He joined the army! These are remarkable garments indeed. There will be no argument from me. I was in Pier-1 when I decided not everything romantic is made of iron. I just wondered how they cleaned them. He joined the army! And if there's any doubt just how remarkable these garments are, just keep watching. Now, he wasn't any more specific than that, I just assumed he meant the American army. And there it was. That pink number with the pillbox hat that Jacqueline Kennedy was wearing before it was splattered with blood. My very first conspiracy theory. Lesson learned.

--------------------------------

"Don't run away! We'll be right back right after this, and we'll just keep talking!"

Try using armed guards. More people might tune in. Mostly - - the men.

------------------------------------
"Someday, someone will come along and he'll know exactly what to do."
- Lucille Ball, the Queen of Comedy

That was an extraordinary thing for the Queen of Comedy to have said.

DON'T YOU THINK??!!

"Someone saw this. She was so convincing, they called the police. Apparently, they use the police for everything. They had alot on theitr plate at the time. They looked at it recently and decided it wasn't in their jurisdiction and sent it to a local news station. Has anyone ever applied for this position before?"

Hollywood, incidentally, has its' own rules.

Obviously.

19 February 2010

MistressOfTheNews |

I have a question for Ms. Tomlin.

Now, this wasn't just any comedienne. This was the most famous woman in the world, a woman by the name of Lucille Ball, called the Queen of Comedy. This was a response to a reporter's question right after her television series was cancelled. The television was just on and I was ironing. She was COMPLETELY convinced this was going to happen and she so convincing too. God, was she convincing. She said: "Someday, someone will come along and he'll know exactly what to do."

"Hope springs eternal". "Farout", I thought to myself. A few days later.
That was an extraordinary thing for the Queen of Comedy to have said. Don't you think? I do! Imagine, the years of experience that went into that statement.

Now, if someone were to write an anonymous misspelled letter, not "To Whom it May Concern", but "Deer Hollywood", (not a death threat, mind you. Much like the one you're reading now.) and have it analyzed, or published rather. Excuse me. They'd have to. Who would they send it to?

Would it be cause for concern or news?

18 February 2010

Diane Kleinfelter |

You're 70??!!! Can't believe it. I especially love you in the Edith Ann/rocking chair role. I work for an agency (Pro Seniors) that provides free legal help to Ohio seniors - we're auctioning decorated rocking chairs at our fundraising event this summer. I have your "Edith Ann: My Life So Far" book and wondering if I could get something autographed from you to put with the book in our auction. It would be a highlight of the event. Contact me via email and I'll send my mailing address. Thanks for the joy you bring to so many!

John C. Schoeni |

Lily, I wonder if you remember me. John Schoeni who faxed you cartoons at the JFK Center for the Performing Arts in April, 1988. I sent tons of cartoons and you decided to check me out. We came to the green room and you gave Lovely Linda a surprise birthday party. Then we went to dinner at the local Alexandria restaurant. Then you invited us to D.C. to see the July 4th fireworks after a cookout in Middleburg, Virginia where you rented the top of the line mansion. And then the closing party at your favorite restaurant in D.C. because they had great salads. I sent you my cartoon book “George Washington’s Rules of Civililty.” 22 years ago. Ouch! How are you? How is Jane? I am now a screenwriter and novelist. And who doesn’t have a script in their trunk in Hollyweird. John Schoeni

16 February 2010 - In Chalotte, NC now near Boone where you will be next week.

I am going to see you at the St. George Theatre on Staten Island in April. It would be awesome if me and my girl could meet you. I have been a fan since forever.

I can't thank you enough for that. I've seen many of your shows and have the fondest memory of giving you a rose outside the Wilbur back in the 80's.

Hi Lily. We saw you at the Balboa Theater in San Diego last week, on our trip out of WA to find some sunshine. I was the Librarian in the audience. You filled my heart, and my husband also loved the show. I have a collection (since 1980) of 6 word stories I'd like to send you, and I'd like you to add one. Here are some I've collected, credits are in the book. R&J."Feud Dude. Parents Rude. Lovers screwed." "Shopping list: Slim-Fast, little black dress." "Kiss Frog. Kiss Frog. Prince? Tadpoles!" "Me man. You woman. Make sandwich." ""Salmon surged. Upstream halted torrents. Dam!" "New farmhand, empty pail. Enraged bull" I started collecting when I read Hemingway's: "For Sale. Baby shoes. Never worn." oh sob.
Regards!

Randy Amstrong |

Hello Lily! I am the grandson of Daisy Tomlin/Lindemuth.Grandma was born in 1898. She had 5 children: Vaughn who they called Pete, Dale, Colleen, and my mother Trena. My grandmother left her photo alabums to my mother who cared for her in old age. It is full of the Tomlins. I saw names like Lucile (not sure thats spelled right) :o). Roy or Rob, some of the names are hard to make out. I belive grandma was born in Joplin Mo. There are also pictures of her sisters, one of which you were born of. Her parents and there familys. In fact when I was small we had Tomlin reunions here in Fort Wayne. I was just amazed at the way they dressed in those days, because I have pictures from the mid 18 hundreds. Some of the pictures that Daisy took when she would go to California to visit my aunt Colleen were pretty amazing. She has old pictures of Dean Martin's house, Jane Mansfields house, Jimmy Durante, etc. Also she has an up close pic of John Kennedy in 1961 or 62. I would have to verify that date! President Kennedy was just getting off his helicopter. Anyway, about half of our relatives live in Milpitas California/San Jose. My uncle who married Colleen was Mayor of California City. His name was Dick Moser. They used to also run the Desert Deli there. They have all passed now starting with my mother in 1998. Im sure your eyes are tired now but in closing; if you have the time, I would really love to have an autograph as it would really be a very cool addition to the photo album. Love Randy and Leslie Armstrong.

Jay Burr |

Hi, Lily! I saw you 1/28/10 in San Diego with my partner, Jason, and had an incredible time laughing and guffawing throughout the entire show! I was hoping to meet you and was delighted to see that there was a STAGE DOOR ENTRANCE outside of the theater. I was thrilled when you came out to say "Hi" to all of us and I wanted to say a few kind words to you and instead was delegated to take photos for other fans and never got one of my own. I did get to shake your hand however and was thrilled to have done just that! I am 41 and have been a HUGE fan of yours since I was six. My parents watched LAUGH IN and I was always the most fond of your characters, even at that age. Well, 9 to 5 is my all-time favorite film and I have the entire script memorized (unwillingly.I have just seen it a 'kajillion' times)! VIOLET is my favorite movie character. You brought such a perfect balance of wit, comedy and balls to that role! Thanks ever so much for enriching my life with laughter and I would be honored if I could get an autograph from you. Let me know how, or I will just leave my address here: Jay Burr 7990 Lemon Circle # 16 La Mesa, California 91941. I am sending all of my love Lily!

Hi Lily, I am the ESL teacher you sat beside last week in NY at that one-man show, The Myopia. I just wanted to tell you that YES, my mom was very, very excited that I met you (as was my boyfriend.and well, ME TOO!) and that I really enjoyed gabbing with you before the show and during the intermission. You are a real charmer!

I hope you'll come back to British Columbia soon, but this time, do your show in Vancouver, instead of Richmond, to avoid the riffraff (ie. Kathy Griffin!). (-; Jim and I will definitely go see you.

Hope you made it back to LA A-OK-- it was BIG FUN meeting you! -Cody x

I worry that my message won't get posted and I so wanted to reach you to say thank you for a most incredible night last night in San Diego. My daughter and son grew up with Lily in the house. The thrill last nite was having my 8 year old granddaughter Katie sharing in the fun. The graciousness and kindness you extended to us all made for life lasting memories. Katie had some very funny thoughts I'd love to share with you at some time. You have my card and now my email. I know you have to be very busy yet I would hope that we can make contact in the days to come. Thank you again - for sharing your special gifts and enriching our lives.

thank you for letting me come backstage tonight! I accidentally gave you my wrong e-mail address and wanted to make sure to get you the right one so we can stay in touch. My Grandma gave Paul (I think that's his name) her card with her address so maybe we can stay in touch that way too. Thank you again for making me laugh so much and making this night the best!!

I was a total goofy 'teenaged boy' meeting you last night (although I am a woman!) I stuttered, babbled inanities, and generally felt star struck. oh well. Lily, your show in Key West last night was EXACTLY what I expected (having seen you 5 times now over a 'span of years!') You were funny as hell, brilliant, charming, warm, engaging, and thoroughly entertaining (which is what I MEANT to say last night dammit!) Thanks so much to you and Jane for the laughter!!! Please come visit our little island of Key West again very soon.

It was wonderful to meet you and Vivian at the hotel after the show in Lakeland and we all came away that you are one of the most gracious and wonderful celebrity we have ever met. As we discussed you need to come to Orlando, and even though you said we would be your guests,we all would like to show our generousity to one of the greatest actress and comedian of our time. You have made all of us loyal fans for life. Also thank you Vivian for all your assitance and kindness also.

Such a great show in Lakeland on Thursday afternoon. We loved getting to meet you in hotel and backstage after the show. What a treat! I put our picture up on facebook. And gave the show a deserving plug. It was wonderful! Thanks Lily for taking the time. We appreciated it. Cathy and Dawn

Hi Lily,
My husband and I ran into you in Key West at the Hemingway house. You were on the phone, and although I tried to wait until you were off, I finally gestured for a photo and you graciously agreed, despite the fact you were doing an interview on the phone. I told you we were coming to see you on Saturday night, but we didn't realized the show was sold out. OF course!!! What was I thinking. Anyway, you're a doll. Thanks so much.

Loved seeing you and having the honor of meeting you after the show in Lakeland, Fl as Bette Middler would say " Lakeland, The home of the newly wed and the nearly dead!" yes.they were older than you could EVER imagine!. In meeting you,You were lovely and charming and kind. I enjoyed sharing the fact that we'd both had the chance to meet Claudette Colbert and what a wonderful treat that was. You have the opportunity to meet SO many people I hope my few stories about being an actor for Disney Strretmoshphere like your friend from Desperate Housewivesand and that my best friend , who my partner calls my 'at work wife' loved that she gave me the best gift ever by taking me to see your show and that her father ran your spotlight so we had the chance to meet you. ( and not had to pay the $140.00 meet you ticket price ) Thank you for your kindness and I look forward to meeting with you again in the future.

I have a special request. I live in Oneonta, NY and do not get FX. Lilly Tomlin is about to appear as a guest star on Damages. During the taping of the show she lost an earring. My sister, Janice Pyle is a Jeweler in Scottsville, NY and made Ms. Tomlin an exact replica of the earrings so that the episode would not have to re-taped. I was wondering if it is possible to mail me an autographed picture of Ms. Tomlin wearing the earrings my sister made.

Sincerely,

Lily,
Thanks for coming to Lakeland. You were great last night.Your show was very clever and funny as usual. Lily, did they warn you about the Lakeland, Florida audience, or did you censor yourself? Sure the audience looked like they were driven to Lakeland from nursing homes across the county… and that someone forgot the oxygen tanks. You mentioned gay marriage, then dropped it almost immediately. You said "I’m not sure about this gay marriage thing, I mean, it’s a slippery slope, what happens next monster truck rallies?" Then you said something about double standards in relationships and dropped the topic all together to start something else. Okay, maybe you didn’t want to get sued for giving someone a heart attack or stroke by mentioning gay people. Once my partner and I saw The Full Monty (ambulances waiting outside for fainting women :) at the same theatre, and several people walked out, and someone commented rudely when the gay guy character spoke. They have a right to leave, but I have a right to hear uncensored Lily Tomlin.With the Los Angeles court case going on right now, how could you not even mention it? I know. It’s YOUR show, not mine. My apologies for this rant. You know, Lily, at 70 that you can’t tell by looking at people what their views are. I know there was at least one transgendered person in the audience because I saw and know him from parties I have attended, yea in Lakeland! I’m 65, and my partner is 56. We were up there in the mezzanine hooting and hollering for you, Lily. Did you hear us? You are still looking good, lady. Don’t quit. You’re too smart and talented to ever do that. We love you and your work.

Just enjoyed two hours at your wonderful performance in Lakeland, FL with 7 of my women friends. We had a lovely evening and all of us were so happy that we chose to do this. You are so delightful and we all (ranging in age from 50 to 63) marveled at your agility and energy. Thanks for providing so many smiles in this sometimes unsmiley world - have been a fan of yours since Laugh - In

Having grown up with you, I never realized how much you brought through you humor. Tonight in Lakeland your show brought reality and consciousness back to me. Thank you for your gift, your intensity and your wit. I will bring my teenage children to your next visit; they need to see how you approach reality.

I am getting spam offers from Togo under your name (below)--they say they got my email from your website. If you would like me to forward the actual email, I am happy to do so.

-----------------
Dear Mr. John,

I seize this opportunity to extend my warn greetings to you especially this New Year 2010, hoping that it will bring very good tiddings to you in all your activities.

I got your information from the INTERNET (your website is listed here, but your email system blocks me from forwarding in this email) and I found it quite imperative to contact you for this business transaction with the aim that at the end of it we will both benefit.

My name is Mr.Harrison Emerance, I work with the Ministry Of Social Welfare and Rural Developments of the Republic of Togo as the Director of Projects Implimentation Committee of this Ministry.

Last 2 years (2008-2009), we awarded contract to a Foreign Company (a German Firm) to supply /install some Water Treatment Plants and maintainance equipments for the rehabilitation and treatment of portable drinking water to the rural /urban areas in Togo, and the Foreign company have concluded the project and have been paid off leaving an over-invoiced amount of USD3.860.000.00 which I want you to accomodate in your account. This over invoiced amount accrued as I and the Accountant in this Office over-invoiced the contract value leaving the above sum yet unclaimed.

It can only be possible to use a foreign account to receive and safeguard this money because the original contractor was a Foreigner and as the Government Law implies on all Civil Servants, it is not possible for a Civil Servant to operate a Foreign Account. All relevant documents to this project are properly safeguarded by me, this measure came up after the end of year's (2009) auditing of accounts.

All I need from you is your interests and capability to champion this course.
I will give you further details once I recives your confirmation as I need to transfer this money out before the end of the 1st quarter of the year because there will be another Auditing of Accounts by the end of April 2010. I and the accountant have agreed to offer you 25% of the total sum while 5% will be set aside to off-set some local and foreign expences that might arise during the course of this transaction.

Send me your direct mobile telephone n° as to enable me reach you easily because of my ever busy-schedules with official assignments and I feel it will be better to communicate most of the times via phone. According to the Bank Manager where this money will be transfered from, he confidently told us that it will take a maximum of 14 working days to finalise the transfer of the money to your nominated bank account.

You can reach me on my direct mobile phone as +228 915 28 72
Thanks, while expecting your prompt reply as soon as possible.

You did a skit on SNL about Edith Ann with a friend, I think you called her Barbara. In the skit you told her that sometimes you thought God was watching and when you thought He was you would sing and dance and do a commercial for yourself. I would love to find this clip, or the SNL series that it was in. Can you help me?

Don't know if Lily is aware of this, but an extreme right wing group is using the image of Ernestine on a face book event page to promote a midnight call-in to "Light up the switchboards" of the senate at midnight tonight to block what they call "Obamacare." This is being done through a facebook event page called "Healthcare Bill" Sunday Midnight Ca[itol Hill Switchboard Lightup." The image of Ernestine is in the upper right hand corner of the event page.
