So, because I put my E-Mail address out on the Web for all to see, I get some spam
E-Mails now and then, most of them are people pretending to be companies I don't
use saying that I need to collect a parcel I didn't order. But every now and then
I find a gem like this E-Mail claiming to be a Spanish business tycoon who has
found my E-Mail and has decided that they want to scam me.
I, Amancio Ortega Gaona a Spanish fashion businessman and founding
chairman of the Inditex fashion group, best known for its chain of
Zara clothing and accessories retail shops. you can read about me on:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amancio_Ortega_Gaona
I intend to give to you a portion of my Net-worth which I have been
banking. I want to cede it out to you hoping it would be of help to
you and others too.
Respond for confirmation.
With love,
Amancio Ortega Gaona
God, it would be really weird if the letter sent was the real deal and it really was from Amancio Ortega Gaona, who had found my website and decided that a guy who fetishised Rotten Dot Com, who wrote shitty My Little Pony stories and made a shitty webcomic deserved some of his money. How kind. Since we're here, I might as well show you some other spam I get~

It's always nice to see people thinking that I'm an American and a bad driver - well, that last part is true, but not the first - it's also nice to see that the Parking Service is checking up on people exceeding the speed limit.
Anyway, this last E-Mail is my personal favourite, I'll let it speak for itself;
