I guess due to the visibility of this blog, I get a lot of emails from people I don't know. Some are basic inquires on "what to bring with me when I come to Uganda and will I get malaria?" and some are more interesting.... a few here....
Number One:
From a man in Florida
(I'm just imagining the kind of hate mail I would get for executing this article)
I stumbled across your blog and thought you might be interested in this. I married a Ugandan woman - White man/Black woman - from Kampala that I met on the net. She didn’t rip me off for some huge sum of money - but she was and is extremely deceitful (IMO). So … after 4 trips to the States and 2 trips for me to Kampala all on my expense - I’ve filed for divorce. It’s probably not that unusual but could be an article. This woman used to be part of a semi-famous group called the Obsessions.
Please let me know your thoughts. If you’re not interested, who might you suggest I contact? Daily Monitor, New Vision, Weekly Observer or some other East African (or USA) publication? I have bunches of photos and letters. Thanks!
Number Two:
From DRC, a man who has actually now emailed me about five times and spent enough airtime to call from Congo to Uganda. (David wrote a go away reply, which I won't quote here for reasons of profanity.)

The letter from the DRC is a winner. 'Yours in marriage.' Big Ha.
The first letter is a little sad. I met a guy in Stockholm who had almost the exact same story. I felt sorry for him until he told me if I wanted, I could replace the chick in Kampala. He was open to anything Ugandan, he said.
HAHA is right, though the call was a little creepy. Turns out my kinda crazy father actually was involved in this debacle, as Mr. Marriage has called said father multiple times (from Congo to California) and they've spoken on the phone, which turns out is how he got my phone number. Creepy! Creepy that my dad didn't know not to talk to some random guy calling from the Congo!
The first letter is a bit sad, you definitely get the feeling the guy is grasping at straws for anything that will redeem this failed chapter of his life. But hey, we all know what grasping at straws is like....
When do I find out who you are, Tumwijuke?

No way! I wondered how Mr. Marriage knew your dad's name. That IS creepy.
But look on the bright side - you must be getting somewhat famous in blog-world to have a stalker. :)
HAHAHAHAAAAA.... I am really laughing about the guy who marreid the X-Obsessions member!!! I've got no sympathy! HAHAHAHA! What a loon! I bet so many men have been duped by crafty UG girls the exact same way. This stuff is too funny! I can only imagine the other emails you get regularly from people wanting to travel to Uganda I bet they are equally humorous.
This is so funny. I have received a lot of crap, too. Especially via Skype. Someone wanted to get together 'because he loved black women'. I told him I was white, which is also pretty obvious from my photo, I thought. He said he would take me anyway.
I feel completely powerless when it comes to this kind of rethorics. These people are in another space.
