I like to read junk mail.

Do you like to read junk mail? Its a really weird habit of mine.

Usually I check junk mail just in case stuff get put there, you know?

BUT, sometimes I like to open those scam mails that want to share a huge sum of money with you.

I have no idea why I do it, I just do. LOL. And when I do, I like to read them. All the stories are the same! More or less la.

I find it highly amusing that a lot of these mails have the same storyline. Some big shot guy died, there's money in his whatever. It won't go anywhere (back to the govt prolly?), and might as well share the money. They NEED another person to stand as witness/some other thing that gets them money, and that's you. Will you be willing to take part in this transaction?

Also, they usually start with really weird headings. Almost as though they directly translated things from google translator or I dunno. Something.

"Dear Friend ,"
"FROM: Mr.Liu Yan"
"Good day"

I remember one of the first times I decided to open a junk mail like this, I was wondering if google searching would show the mail as a scam. Gasp, it did!

Amazing, huh? People even need the internet to tell them that it's a scam.

So I very kindly clicked on reply. I can't remember exactly what I replied, but I told them very nicely that when I googled the mail, it showed up as a scam. I proposed that they come up with a better story, if they really wanted to cheat people. Did I wish them good luck? Probably. LOL!

No. There was no reply. Sometimes I wonder if its just a virus that invades the computer you know?
------------------------------------
Apart from scam mails, there're those "looking for love" ones. There's one, that I found particularly nice. It was very well written, if you ask me. The imagery, the atmosphere, everything just worked right.

It wasn't fancy at all (cheap advert), just like me typing an email to you.

Hi there
 
What lies behind us, and what lies before us are tiny matters compared 
to what lies within us. In a dream I saw your face. You smiled at me 
and held out your hand. I felt a spark inside my heart when you said 
that you love me. As I stood beneath that sky of blue, I drifted weight
less like the clouds and all because you had said three simple words: 
“I love you.” I closed my eyes knees frail and weak. I opened my mouth
but than I felt like I can’t talk. Than I took you hand, 
smiled and the look in my eyes said: “I love you too!”
I am waiting for you http://yourlovepoint.com/09570/
 
The best of luck

Okay, it wasn't italicised originally, I just needed to show where the letter was. The grammar a bit off, but otherwise, it was very dreamy and pretty good what! No, I didn't click on the link. Can't be bothered. Sekali its a virus how.

Not bad what! The best I ever saw. Seriously, if you look at the others, it never looks this good. Well done, yourlovepoint.com!
