Dear Sirs
Please accept this as free advice.
If you are going to send out these spam emails in an attempt to get log in names etc, you will need to brush up on your English grammar and spelling. You will also need to check your facts and spam accordingly as you have stated that my Ebay account has been inactive for the last week and yet I have bought and sold items all week.
Now then, I will do a deal with you. I will teach you English grammar and spelling and for that you will pay me some money. On the surface, that may not seem such a good deal but look at it as money you need to speculate to accumulate. I mean, let's be honest, what self respecting spammer wants to be thought of as a complete numpty eh?
