Who Knows What Evil Lurks in the Hearts of Men?

I’ve written about this before.  It never ceases to amaze me that I receive so many emails like this one. Some days I get two or three of them.  Is it even a crime?  If so, is anyone ever apprehended and punished for doing it?  And who clicks the links?  90 year old ladies?  Ten year old children?

Have you ever received a legitimate email from FedEx or anyone else that looked like this?

Of course, bad grammar and spelling are usually the biggest giveaway. The author of this typical masterpiece is almost certainly not a native speaker of English. This one was probably slapped together in a few minutes. But I have received others that must have required much more time to assemble.
