Freakin' Spam

I logged into the spam account (or as I like to think of it, "Spam Heaven") I have at work and found this. Isn't this the freakin' funniest spam ever? I swear, I didn't change a thing (except for removing the To: line, because it was addressed to a co-worker and came to me for some reason...which is pretty typical for work spam, actually).

OK, somebody needs to hire them a damn proofreader, for starters. Perhaps the missing punctuation could escape attention, but I'm pretty sure that even in Taiwan they have VOWELS. And that it's usually frowned upon in a "professional" setting to omit vowels in a supposed business proposal. I mean, I know it's just freakin' spam, but come ON! How much success do they expect to have with that grammatical nightmare?? So here's to you, John Chen, for being the most ineffective spammer ever. I don't understand all of your e-mail, and that's OK. I'm comfortable with that. However, I don't know how you sleep at night not knowing how to spell innovative (although you seem to think it's "renovative," which is something else altogether). I suggest that you conduct all future business in Taiwanese. And hopefully, whatever food you're manufacturing isn't as effed up as your writing skills.

OMG, I'm never eating anything from Taiwan again. There goes my addiction to dog. Hrmph.

Wait, what do they do?? Manufacture a food processor or provide planning design and development? Whatever it is, I'm not buying, renting or even accepting as a gift.

I think it's both. I also just noticed that part of the message repeats itself. So it's like they ran out of things to say and then decided that the previous paragraph was SOOOO good, let's put it in again! Ha.

Thanks Mr. Chen, that letter hurts my eyes. They actually started to cross in self-defense. Pardon me while I massage the twitch at my temple...
