Well, at least their English is getting a little better. Still pretty obvious, but they must be offering English classes at their annual e-mail conferences.

You might be surprised. Some of those scams get pretty sophisticated.
I got one of those "foreign lottery" ones some time ago and, knowing it was a scam, I decided to have a little bit of fun with it.
The initial e-mail said the usual stuff - "You've won 1.3 Million bucks in a lottery you don't remember entering" ... all that. So I started replying to the e-mails. Well, I didn't expect anything much but that one was slick. They e-mailed me all KINDS of details including really sophisticated looking award forms (in PDF format) ... the forms looked very official. I kept them at bay for, perhaps, six rounds of e-mails before I blew them off. They really put some effort in trying to scam me.
I'm pretty sure that they must really nail some people, though. A computer user (say an old-retired person) who doesn't really understand all this might actually get taken hook-line-and-sinker. (As I have read, there are a number of people that really do fall for this stuff). With the technology being the way it is - these scam artists can really put on a good show. All you have to do is just slip up and "accidentally" release a piece of your critical info (checking-account number or credit card number) and they can get ya.
I'm amazed at how many times I get this kind of crap forwarded to me from people asking me if I think it's legitimate!
I just sent them three emails begging to get in on the deal. Mahn this is going to be GREAT! Laugh now, but when the cash starts roll'n in we'll see who's laugh'n.. PRETTY BOY, keep it up and you'll be sorry........AAAAAAGGGGGHHHH! My head, make them go away!!!!!
I get these types of things all the time. I also get about a thousand credit card offers a month, it's all very annoying. Luckily there is such thing as junk mail folders and filters.
