I have just received notification that my number has won some gargantuan amount of money (in "euros") through some mystical international "el premio promo lotteria".
Wow.
Beyond the bad Spanish, beyond the typos and blatent errors in grammar, there is the woeful ignorance of proper English that defies translation errors (like the promotions/cash exchange directorio being named "Floyed"). I was underwhelmed enough to actually send a response to the address given to point out that in the future they might want to have their scam letters proof-read by someone who knows how to fucking speak English before sending them out.
