Request for Money
We received a message from "Miriam in Ghana" telling us about herself and how she needed help getting access to some funds her father left her. This is the first time that we have received one of these messages, other than through our regular e-mail account. I just wanted to let everyone know this is happening.

I do not know what the "best" way of dealing with this is, but when I got a spam message I just pressed the button marked "spam". And the offending message just disappeared from my box; I assume it made its way into a holding area somewhere to wait for either of the TTs to hav a look, and take appropriate action.
Because I financially support causes that I believe in, I am always getting requests for donations. When I first joined TN, I believed so much in what they were trying to do, I made a donation to them. Until the recent big upgrade/improvement/change over a sponsor tag was included on my profile page. Unfortunately, that is now gone. I maintain several e-mail accounts so I can keep control of the spammers. When things get too bad on any account, I simply drop that account.
