Who's that girl? (I want to meet her!)

One of my Internet e-mail accounts is named after the model and year of a car that I sold through it many years ago. I rarely use it now, never give its address away, and receive only daily mailings from Buy.com and from an office supply company. At one time I received a few spams but those have stopped, an unheard of turn.

Late one recent Tuesday evening, an e-mail was sent to it from a mobile telephone in a far away state, and containing only a photograph of a young woman. No message followed, and opening that e-mail the next morning, I wondered what it was about. Then, later on Wednesday morning, I received a long e-mail that I quote below in its entirety (I have deleted the last names mentioned). The subject line was blank:

This is what was sent to Amy! Kiss my ass David! You are nothing but a womanizing liar that needs to grow up, stop popping pills and hurting people that love you. Love me?? You never did and you will never get the chance. Goodbye....Crystal M____

P.S. Aren't you sick of all this shit yet, I think you & Amy both are addicted to it.


Note: forwarded message attached.

Here's the attached note referred to in the first sentence above:

You may scare David, but you don't scare me. Stop calling me house. Detective S_______ at the Hillsb orough County Police Department has already been notified and will be requesting my phone records, she has also taken a statement from my daughter whom you had no right speaking to that way. I was asked if I would like to press assault charges on you for the threats that you made. I thought of Noah and said no, however, I can at anytime. I was also asked if I would like to press charges on you for soliciting my husband for sex (I did not even know that was a crime, if you were not charging money) again, I said no. This is your written notice, as required by law, to stop harassing my family by, phone, mail or via the internet immediatly.

I told you before I DON'T WANT YOUR HUSBAND, I HAVE MY OWN! HE contacted me 2 weeks ago and there is nothing going on between us. When I came to Georgia (back in 2005), you know as well as I do that he said you two were separated and getting divorced. I had no idea you two were together. If you do have a lawyer, make sure you let him know that. BTW.....you cannot sue someone that has no income. The courts cannot make a family with only one form of income pay anything toward a judgement. They can place a judgement against me to garnish my wages if I were to ever get a job, but I have no plans of doing that in the near future. My best friend is an attorney and has confirmed this for me. I don't speak out of my ass, I do know the law. Besides, you would just be taking from Tim, not me. You would also be taking from my children who are completely innocent. David told me what kind of person you were, I didn't believe it till now. Stop bothering us about something that happened 2 years ago. I never meant to hurt you, David said that you kicked him out and the two of you were not together back then. It's the past...let it go. You guys are separated and getting a divorce for God sakes. I tried to help you and send you the messages last time he contacted me, you crossed a line when you involved my daughter though. I deleted everything this time. I have no use for it and will not have any contact with you or him beyond this point. If you were going to do something like this, it should have been done 2 years ago, not now. I have not contacted you nor him and have done NOTHING wrong or to hurt you since 2005. Hell, the statute of limitations is probably already up. So, take your backwoods drama and leave me out of it. I don't have time to deal with you, him or your drama. Move on and do what is best for your son! All you guys are doing is hurting him.

That was the end of it. No more mysterious e-mails at this address. What to make of it? Your interpretation is as good as mine. The telephone area code, from which the photo was sent, is in one of two Hillsborough Counties in the United States. I suspect that 'David' , in his drugged state (if we to believe Crystal's accusation), was giving out my e-mail address instead of his own, by mistake, or on purpose, making up my address on the spot.
