Hey Kaye Petersen,

I guess your job is going good. I wanted to alert you to a superb job opp. inDanbury. Kaye we have had few of our clients take this opportunity and I have heard great stories.

The local paper has story featuring one of our clients, Kelly Richards. It will also give you all the important information you need to get started. Kaye the link is [scary link] and I believe the story will be on the homepage until tomorrow.

Truly,

While this one is similar to last week’s, I just had to give it kudos for opening with a line like “I guess your job is going good” and closing with a quote from Robert Frost.

Everybody hates Spam—it fills up your Inbox (unless you’ve got G-mail, which does a great job of putting it in an appropriately-labeled folder), clogs your blog (WordPress does a great job filtering, too), and can threaten your computer’s security.

I have to say though, I love my Spam. It cracks me up—it’s poorly spelled, illiterate, and often leaves me wondering who would be dumb enough to click on the link for whatever product/service/lottery winning from mysterious relative in a country you’ve never heard of. So I decided in 2012 I’d go through my Spam each week and pick my favorites to share with the world. I remove the sender and any links that might be damaging (plus, who wants to give them press?).

See you next week! If you get any great Spam, you can post it here, just strip any links and the sender’s e-mail. And be sure to say something in the post to let me know you’re real. Otherwise I might think you’re…well, Spam.
