Sometimes those spam messages that make no sense are just bait. It's an attempt to collect an address. There are still a lot of people out there who respond to them with a quick "Please don't email me any more." As soon as the spammer receives that message, they know there's a living, breathing person at the other end of that email address, so they can sell the address to others.
That's also why it's rarely a good idea to click an "unsubscribe" or "remove me from this list" link. All you're doing is alerting the spammer that you actually exist.
