 Attention: Friend

Request for Business Partnership

I am a Sunni Arab and a member of a strategic committee in a major
industry in Iraq ; I write to seek your partnership in a lucrative oil
business. My ideal partner should be trustworthy, reliable and have the
ability to operate a business in a western nation. You will not be
required to travel to Iraq or to leave your country.

I seek your partnership because of an urgent need to move my family
out of Iraq due to the deteriorating security situation due to sectarian
violence and the strong prospect of a civil war when the U.S. finally
pulls our their troops. 

To indicate your interest or request more details, please contact me by
email: [removed]

Thank you,

Jubouri Omar.

Watch out for Ninjas

BARNEGAT — A report of a ninja sighting in the woods near the Robert L. Horbelt elementary School prompted a brief lockdown of the township’s public schools before
authorities realized the suspect in question was actually a camp counselor heading toward a costume party.

Shortly after 9 a.m., police received a call from a librarian at the local Ocean
County Library branch on Burr Street reporting that a man dressed as a ninja, carrying a large sword, was running through the woods, Lt. Patrick Shaffery said. Police than initiated a lock-down of the five schools as a precaution, police said.

The lock-down — which restricts movement in and out of school buildings — was lifted by 9:30 a.m. after police learned the man in question was actually a camp counselor on his way to a costume-themed day at the Russell O. Brackman Middle School. The counselor, who was wearing a black karate gi and carrying a plastic sword, was running late and decided to take a short cut through the woods, Shaffery

Apparently the fear of Ninjas in this town is so great that a sighting can cause schools to be placed on lock down. I’d like to point out though, that had this been an actual Ninja sighting, the librarian would be dead and no one would know why.

Example:

Here is a picture of 5 Ninjas. See my point?

So, interesting story. So much so that I had to write it up for my general manager incase anything comes as a result of it. Here it is for your reading pleasure:

Jeanne, Just a heads up on an incident that occurred tonight.

At 8pm (right as I was about to clock off.. great) a woman attempted to enter the theater for the 7:30 Sex and the City. I informed her that no more people were being allowed into the theater as it had already started.

She gave me the story that she had driven from Pinellas and spent $4 on gas. I let her know that I am sorry for the inconvience but that no one was being allowed in. She requested to speak to a manager and I informed her I was one. She then requested to speak to someone above me and I pointed out Jen which is when she requested “Someone older” so I said “Excuse me?” to which she withdrew the statement. She rephrased to ask for someone over Jen so we directed them to the event security who gave her the same information we did.

She then asked Troy at concession for our (the managers) names, so I stopped her and told her if she needed information we would be glad to give it to her but not to speak to our staff. She asked me for my name and when I proceded to give it to her (while spelling my last name: Nassar) she said “As in Abdul?” so again I said “Excuse me?” to which she attempted to withdraw but I told her to leave the building as I was not about to let myself be discriminated against in my place of work. It took me threatening to call mall security before she began to walk out. I followed her to the door and made sure she left.

I wanted to give you this information incase anything were to come of it and you did not know what happen.

-Freddy Nassar (not Abdul)
