Re Hi

Occasionally I just have to laugh at spam messages.  It is so obvious that they are spam, as most are constructed in the same way: "woe is me, I'm in horrible straits (but a good person) and have so much money.  Help me get the money into your country and I'll handsomely reward you!"

The continual grammar and spelling mistakes are also just plain amusing.  Will spammers ever figure out that they need to take English lessons?  Or perhaps enough people are fooled that they don't need to bother.

As an added layer of complexity the link is an actual link to the BBC website and not a spam link.  I assume it is intended to add just a touch of verisimilitude to the account and sway the unwary.
