Message text chosen from: 
Ti-am trimis ultima poza de la mare. Asta e? 
Asta e ultimul antivirus. Ar trebui sa rezolve toate problemele. 
:))))))) 
Nu deschide acest mesaj! E numai pentru persoanele prea curioase! 
Daca sunteti nu mai suportati manelele la servici, tramvai, taxi, metrou, etc., 
trimiteti acest mesaj la toti prietenii dvs. !
Va multumesc (din suflet). 
Credeti ca ar fi mai bine ca Romania sa-si retraga trupele d in Irak anul 
acesta?
Deschideti programul Vot, alegeti votul dvs. si vedeti rezul tatele. Parerea 
dvs. conteaza! 
Draga Ionel
Scuza-ma ca nu ti-am mai scris de mult timp, dar am avut ceva probleme cu 
calculatorul
Ti-am promis ultima data pe chat o poza cu mine dezbracata... m-am gandit mult 
la asta si cred ca pana la urma cel mai bine e sa-ti trimit o poza.
Sper sa-ti placa. Daca nu o sa-mi mai scrii dupa mesajul asta, o sa te 
inteleg...
Roxana, <dd.mm.yyyy>
