In my opinion

Urgent!Dear Friend, Sorry to be intruding on your privacy. I am Clancy Jefferson, a solicitor at law. I am 59, a citizen of Great Britain, living in Middle Eastern Nation.
Please do not feel sorry for me as you read this.
My girlfriend used to complain of no cum force when I ejaculated. UltraCum has helped thousands of men. Great improvement to my sex life!
Turn yourself soft to hard in an instant.
A breakthrough in science has created a diet supplement guaranteed for penis enlargement. Tests show that males from around the world after using MegaCock plus for 5 months average increase was 3.4 inches! Fantastic, PERMANENT RESULTS.
Thanks to John from the United States and David from Australia for sharing before and after pictures and letting us show them on our Web site.
Before investing in this fantastic product, I was the personal legal consultant for highly reputable national of your country who used to work here as head of a petroleum servicing company.
William H. Bowling III, aged 74, made a fixed deposit of fund valued at USD$18,750,000 with a Financial Company here and unfortunately lost his life when tainted meat products were served aboard Syrian charter boat shortly after leaving Jimbaran Bay Luxury Resort in Bali, killing all 37 aboard.
Next of Kin documents except others vital to location still in my possession.
Recently, Governing Board of Financial Company contacted me to produce Next of Kin to lay claim to Fund or be confiscated by Financial Company.
All attempts proved unsuccessful, but contact with the embassy of your country leads me to this proposal.
Under clear and legitimate agreement with you I would like to present you as Next of Kin to claim Fund. You are entitled to 40 percent of Fund, I will take 50 percent, and 10 percent will go to costs of transaction.
Send immediately for confidential processing your name(s), telephone and fax numbers, contact address, bank name and account number.
Do not forget that a transaction of this magnitude requires sincerity and confidentiality. I look forward to your urgent response.
The above composite shows how spam can contain anything, and it has a lot in common with the meat product SPAM® because you really don't know what you are getting, even after you bite in.
According to the Hormel Company that markets SPAM®, it contains only, "ham, pork, sugar, salt, water, a little potato starch, and a mere hint of sodium nitrite to help SPAM® keep its color."
While ham and pork may seem like the same thing to a preserved meat neophyte, per to the SPAM® Web page, "ham is technically taken from the upper rear leg of the hog. While pork can describe meat from several different delicious cuts."
Most of us take this to mean that pork can be anything - anything - that comes from a dead pig. Mmmmm- delicious.
The U.S. Federal Trade Commission describes spam as "unsolicited commercial e-mail." While it is made of the same parts as a legitimate e-mail - subject, body, closing, and a little bit of information to keep you interested - what it actually contains is usually as random and mysterious as your average undisclosed pork cut.
Even if you've never been curious enough to open a spam message, you can pretty much tell from the subject lines what categories of contents there are.
My favorite is penis enlargement products. Just how big, how fast, I always wonder.
Then there are the solicitations to claim your big prize, the hot stocks to watch, the cheap prescription drugs and the ubiquitous scams that claim to be from individuals who need your help to transfer, invest, claim, or donate large sums of money.
It is this last sort, known as the Nigerian scam, that actually gave rise to a Web site dedicated to scamming the scammers.
The site, 419eater.com, serves as a forum for individuals who are "scambaiting" hobbyists. That is, they respond to scam e-mails in the attempt to lead them on and keep them from pursuing an actual victim.
The code 419 is a reference to "Advance Fee Fraud" in which the scammer will ask for an initial fee payment to initiate the promised return of a large sum of money.
The name "Nigerian scam" was given to this type of fraud because it seemed to originate from Nigeria and other Western and Southern African Nations. However, according to 419eater.com, about half of all 419 scam attempts now originate from other countries across the globe.
Despite the truly global nature of this type of scam, the scambaiting hobbyist has to contend with allegations of racism, and a look at the "Trophy Room" of the Web site gives good reason why.
The site claims that scambaiters do not target any specific nationality or skin color, but the scammers who have been baited are almost entirely African and black.
While the idea behind giving scammers a taste of their own scam may be something to cheer for, a look at the Web site is nauseating, and it absolutely goes beyond good taste.
Much like Hormel says SPAM® could last forever because it's "like meat with a pause button," e-mail spam will always be there, but if you partake in it in any way, it will likely leave a bad taste in your mouth.
I find that parody is the best way to approach both.
