419 spammers definitely produce humorous spams, albeit unintentionally. Variations of this one come in daily:
>My name is Shadak Shari, a merchant in Dubai, in the U.A.E. I have been >diagnosed with Esophageal cancer .It has defiled all forms of medical >treatment, and right now I have only about a few months to live, according to >medical experts. -or- >Well, I lost all my family members and was seriously injured as a result of >the TSUNAMI and currently hospitalised in Dubai, U.A.E. My illness has defiled >all form of medical treatment and I only have about a few months to live >according to medical report. Dubai must be overflowing with millionaires whose illness has "defiled" treatment. In two years nobody has corrected this typo in the boilerplate letter! :) Pierre -----Original Message----- From: Mark [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, April 09, 2005 9:58 AM To: [email protected] Subject: OT: Do spammers have a sense of humor? Today I got your typical Nigerian spam. This one was different, though; it read: "I am Mrs Melissa Pointer the wife of Mr Harry Pointer, my husband" "Mr Harry Pointer" ?? LOL It seems spammers have a sense of humor, after all. :) - Mark
