Exclamation Email Scams

For years, I always receive at least one email like the one below per each week and like every other Americans, I always delete it or report it to the Coalition Web site at Nigeria - The 419 Coalition Website. And the stupid thing is this, these freakin people don't even know what language to use at least to make it more convincing and less stupid. Look at the signature in the email message below, it says, "Have a blessed day", who freakin writes like that at Microsoft or let say, professionally?

Who freakin brings religion into business when writing for business? For earth sake, if you're wrote this and are reading this, get a life and stop wasting resources and people's time with this crap. These things have been in CBS, ABC, NBC, FBI, CNN, The Malls, Bars, the Clubs, Churches..., you get my point, no body falls for things like this in America any more, so stop wasting the resources and get a real job, you freakin chicken head.

Here is the email I just received.
