Oh the joys of SPAM

So this was an actual SPAM e-mail that I got today.
I love it!

Dear,
I come through the internet (very accessible for Communication) seek assistance from you.Miss Corine, a young heir to my late father who was a personality known for his dedication to his youth. I want to recieve what I had when I asking you to help me recieve this amount from his bank.I have all the documents that I entrusted to my pastor.Incidentally, I inform you that that sum is $ 6.5 million dollars.Thanks and God Bless.
Best regards
Cher,

First of all I love that it is addressed to just "dear". No "Dear Friend," no "Dear Sucker who may possibly send me money," just "Dear". My next favorite part is that she has to explain what the internet is. Because anyone reading e-mails really wouldn't know that its "very accessible for Communication". I also love that at no point in time do they actually ask me for anything. I'm pretty sure the gyst of the scam is that they've been cut out of good old Dad's will and need money in order to get the "Incindental" 6.5 Million. And will then share some of it with "dear" me. Frankly, I'm half tempted to send "Dear" some money so she can invest in English lessons or even pay for a decent translator.

I'm thinking it's time for you to create a new e-mail account.

Pretty funny!
