本日のいやっほぅ!!: Microsoft & AOL Spam

ものすごく香ばしく、かつ高名なSpamが私のところにもやって来ましたので、非常に嬉しく思い、筆を取った次第です。
これ、返信したら...とかいう好奇心はあまり湧かなかったのですが、ただ嬉しかったので。

Dear Sir/Madam

                                      WINNING NOTIFICATION
The prestigious Microsoft and AOL has set out and successfully organized a Sweepstakes marking the yearly anniversary we rolled out over £2,550.000.00 (Two million Five Hundred Fifty Thousand Great Britain Pounds) for our yearly Anniversary Draws. Participants for the draws were randomly selected and drawn from a wide range of web hosts which we enjoy their patronage.

カツモクすべきは、MicrosoftとAOLの香ばしい組み合わせですね。£2,550.000.00って、「255万ポンド」と同義だとは私には読めませんし、何だかもう既にとってもいい感じです。ちなみに3億6,000万円程の当選です!!というメールですね。

The selection was made through a computer draw system attaching personalized email addresses to ticket numbers. Bill Gates is sharing his fortune. If you ignore this, you will regret it later. Microsoft and AOL are now the largest Internet companies and in an effort to make sure that Internet Explorer remains the most widely used program, Microsoft and AOL are running an e-mail beta tes

身震いがするほどの文章ですね。「Riskmasterさん、こちらはアダルトサイトの『XXXXX』ですが、ご利用になられましたね。」とか、「オレや...。（以下略）」位のインパクトですね。なんだか前半と後半がマッチしませんが、更に云うと、後半は途中で途切れてます。メール作成者は、もう少しプロフェッショナル臭を漂わせないと、いかんです。

 Your email address as indicated was drawn and attached to ticket number XXXXXXXXXXXX with serial numbers XXX/XXXXXXXXXX/XX and drew the lucky numbers XX-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX(XX) which subsequently won you £2.550,000.00 (Two Million and Five Hundred Fifty Thousand Great Britain Pounds) already issued in a cheque as one of the 10 jackpot winners in this draw. You have therefore won the entire winning sum of £2.550, 000.00 (Two Million and Five Hundred Fifty Thousand Great Britain Pounds). The draws registered as Draw number one was conducted in Brooklet, London United Kingdom on the 22nd November 2008. These Draws are commemorative and as such special.

ここは何だか英語すら強烈に怪しくなっている感が、ゾクゾクさせますが。今度の表記は£2.550,000.00です。
