I am here to let you know my username is for sale.

I have been "ugottafriend" for twenty years. I am proud of what I've accomplished in both friendship and altruism, a lot of which I've never talked about. Some of my content has been hidden for years, as it was no longer relevant, but over the lifespan of ugottafriend.com, I've written over a thousand entries and received more visits and had more readers than I ever dreamed, from all over the world. My mind is blown, and I am forever grateful to all I have met and all who have supported me.

Unfortunately, not everyone has had good intentions. I have my site set up in such a way that if someone attempts to hack it, I am instantly notified and it is immediately secured. The hackers have never taken over my blog and social media pages, no matter how hard they have tried. Yet they have tried so many times, and the culprits are always from the same handful of countries. God knows I'm no xenophobe, but I am in poor health, I'm tired, and I have lost all patience with this bullshit.

So that brings me to my decision. Those who have tried again and again to rob me of my username to use for whatever your purpose is, I'm talking to you. I know where you are from. I know you have plenty of money. For some reason, you want my personal brand. It's a good username, and I'm glad I chose it all of those years ago. Ugottafriend was a declaration of charity and a devotion to human rights. No one can deny that I progressively pursued these things. I made some naive mistakes along the way, and I've no doubt learned some lessons through the ups and downs, but I know my heart. I have no regrets at all in putting myself out there, sharing my grievances, showing you my life in so many ways, and trying to make a difference in the world, albeit, probably a small one.

I'm still alive, obviously, and can be found on social media under various usernames that may or may not be ugottafriend. I have been slowly moving away from the name this year because you people, who are relentlessly hoping to steal it, are now going to buy it from me. You read that right.

One of you lucky hackers will own ugottafriend.com, and I will give up the username everywhere. I will remove my content and transfer all accounts I own in the name "ugottafriend" to your control.

Email me your intent to purchase with your name, physical address, mailing address, phone number, current social media presence, and the contact information of your accountant or legal department. Sorry, but it must be in English. I will ignore all inquiries that appear questionable or illegible. The first email my attorney and I deem safe will be discussed, and we will make proper legal arrangements.

$975,000 USD, and it's all yours.

Pay up, or fuck off.

Sincerely,

Kelli Bosarge
