One more reason to hate Boston!

It seems that Boston Red Sox (spit) pitcher Curt Shilling is involved in some shady dealings. He has secretly planned on moving to Nigeria with his family and needs help. He has requested that I join him and his family so that I may teach them English. I suppose that the annoying Boston accent is just too much for him to bare. Whatever he has done, it must be pretty bad since he is changing his and the rest of the family's names and nationality.

Unfortunately for me, he has sent out this offer to quite a few former and current English teachers in Korea. One took the initiative to ask for a family photo and this is what was sent.


The same photo can be found on Shilling's website.

Below is the text of the email "Fred" sent out.

Dear Teacher,

I am Frederek Sigvard from stockholm, Sweden and work as an Engineer at Chevron Oil Lagos, Nigeria. My wife and Kids recently joined me in Nigeria; she is Swedish and can't speak English. I am seriously seeking for the services of an English Teacher.

I have reviewed you resume online and would like to know if you would be able to come and teach my wife and four kids Ludvig, Helmer, Synnove and Arvid English most importantly is my wife; She would be attending an interview at a bank here in Nigeria soon. I want to know if you can come by July 2008 to teach my family English.

I am willing to offer you US$6,500 per month with health insurance and return ticket. I have a twin duplex which I and my family occupy one of them at the moment, and if you accept this offer, you would be staying in the second Duplex. I will pay for your airfare cost if you accept the offer.

Regards
Fred ( +234 807 287 3226 )


Sadly I am tied into my contract here for another few months.
