Pen pal? I remember having Pen pals from America in the 90's. Then you could write letters directly to whoever you wanted and you'll be replied.I had few names and addresses of American celebrities. I once wrote letter to HULK HUGAN and he sent me a T shirt with his picture on it. No yahoo yahoo intended. cheesy cool

Dude, it's not scam. If you have been involved in pen pal before, you'll agree it's not a scam. but pen pal gave birth to 419 in Nigeria because Nigerians abused it.
