His grammer and spelling are very good. Very polite as well.
Sent a song by Alexander O'Neal - Wish you were here tonight
He is very smooth. Talked for hours at a time with him.
This is what he wrote when I asked him what Manchester was like. Pretty sure a copy/paste from a travel guide:
I've travelled to Europe, Asia, middle east, africa, mostly oil regions around the world. Living in Manchester gives a sense of community that can seem overwhelming at times. “Northern charm†is something that you really can’t explain in words but experience it and you can’t help but love the place, and the people as this is England, but with a difference.
Manchester offers impressive Victorian architecture, an ever-increasing number of galleries and museums, and an abundance of theatre and live music performances. The nightlife is also buzzing every night of the week, and with so many licensed premises in the city centre there is a plethora of bars, restaurants and clubs to suit every taste.
When it comes to soccer there is both United's Old Trafford ground and the impressive City of Manchester Stadium. Also worthy of a visit are the Olympic swimming pool at Manchester's Aquatic Centre, Manchester's Velodrome and the cricket ground.

About me:
A simple down to earth hardworking guy that is always honest and open from the onset, seeking the same in return as its essential for a lasting relationship.
You'll capture my heart if you're confident, know what you want, command respect and desire to love and to be totally loved. You gotta be able to laugh and shift gears, 'cause I love spontaneity and fun. An entrepreneurial spirit wouldn't hurt--I like to dream big, but I want to do more than just talk about it. Also, in pretty good shape so we can enjoy the outdoors together.
I also like to add that I'm a pretty down to earth person who views life as an adventure. I hope to find someone who gets just as excited about simple things and about "the details" as I do. I want to marry my best friend. I love to work hard & play hard. But I also love lots of quiet moments at home enjoying soft music, candle or firelight, cooking great meals together and just "being" together. I like hugs and leanin up against my woman, so you can't be ashamed to have me tucked under your arm.
I would love to meet a woman who has a caring heart, who is romantic,ie: loves candlelight dinners,loves to dance...I don't care if she feels she's not good at it...just loves music and moving to it. Likes to kiss and show her me how much she loves me...making love from the soul out.
I'm Seeking to start afresh with someone i believe is my true soulmate who should be someone who want's to hold my hand and walk with me through life. I like doing things for the people in my life so if you feel uncomfortable having someone doing thoughtful things or buying things for you I'm not your man. You should be secure enough to accept these expressions of appreciation without feeling threatened by them. I believe relationships are about give and take. So expect to be treated well by me. If your the type of lady who wants a man to hold your hand until we are well into our 80s and still look at you like we just met, then i think we are meant for each other.
I want Honesty, Faithfulness, Romantic, Passionate, a good sense of humor all in one package. A woman that has a heart for God and a close, committed relationship with me. Someone that can be not only my love, but also my best friend. Someone to look forward to waking up beside every morning, and waiting anxiously for that moment when she walks in the door at the end of the day to give a big, warm hug that melts away all the troubles of the day....to grow old together knowing that we are one flesh and best friends for the rest of our lives; now is that hard to find? you tell or proove it to me
this is the name of who he said I should send money too thru Western Union. I had found out abt him on another romance scam but kept e-mailing him to get more information.

Answer: With you
I'm posting the two pictures that I have gotten that he is using. The man in the pictures is not really the scammer. He is an innocent victim too.
