This piece of spam I found simply amazing. It is well written. The author appears to be a very intelligent marketer. But his target audience is the newbie spammer! As well written as it is I am sure he will sucker more people over to the dark side.
This message was trapped by a friend and forwarded and I removed their addresses from the body and since they outlook'd it too me I lost the exactness of it. The original was I believe a pure HTML body. Googling for the message revealed several of them in various archives. SA scored the message at 42.5 so there is no need for anyone to get excited that this is slipping through undetected. Also, his sending IP is in at least four of the RBL lists.

Please Read Date: Fri, 01 Nov 0102 05:07:55 -0700 Hi: I'm a college dropout. I work about two hours a day. I'm ambitious, but extremely lazy, and I make over $30,000 a month. Are you curious yet? In a minute I'm going to tell you my secret, it's the dirty little secret of the Internet ... You've probably heard stories about people making whopping huge money online, but you thought they were the big corporate execs, famous programmers, or boy-geniuses. Well, grasshopper, think again ... It's people like you and me that are making the real money. Yep, people like YOU AND ME! Ever since the "dot com bubble" burst in 1999, small-time entrepreneurs are getting richer while the Fortune 500 companies look for bankruptcy lawyers. Today small business owners and ordinary folks like you and me can use the web to achieve complete financial freedom with NO INVESTMENT and very little work. How? By learning the most profitable marketing technique ever created - it's called bulk email, or SPAM. If you've ever recieved an email advertisement, then you know what bulk email is. I bet you can't click on DELETE fast enough for most of those ads, right? You might not want their product, but remember that thousands of other folks probably do. Bulk email is a percentage game - every bulk emailer who contacts you makes a six figure income on the Internet. I guarantee it. Now let's go back to Math 101 and review some numbers ... If you sell on eBay, you pay anywhere from a few dollars to over a hundred dollars just to post one auction. How many people see your ad? Maybe a couple thousand or even ten or twenty thousand over a period of days. Using bulk email, YOU CAN SEND YOUR AD TO MORE THAN A MILLION PEOPLE A DAY at virtually no cost. Whether your send 100,000 emails or 100 million emails, the price is the same. ZERO! Stop paying those outrageous auction listing fees when hardly anyone sees your ad! Imagine that you have a decent product with a profit margin of $20.00 on each sale. If you send an email ad to 500,000 people, and only one person in a thousand actually places an order, then you just generated 500 orders and made $10,000 in a few hours of work. It's that simple ... All you have to do is convince ONE PERSON OUT OF A THOUSAND to buy your stuff and you're FILTHY RICH. The best thing is that anyone can do it. Doesn't matter if you're a nineteen-year-old college student using a dorm-room computer or a fifty-year-old executive working from an office building in New York City. Anyone, and I repeat ANYONE, can start bulk emailing with virtually no startup costs. All it takes is a few days of study, plenty of ambition, and some basic familiarity with the Internet. I quit college when I was 19 to capitalize on the "Dot Com" mania, and I've never looked back. I started with no money, no product to sell, and only the most rudimentary computer skills. I saw an opportunity and I seized it. A few years later, I bought my own home - with CASH. You don't need any money. You don't need a product. You don't need to be a computer nerd and no experience whatsoever is required. If you saw an employment ad in the newspaper like that you'd jump right on it. It would be a dream come true. So what are you waiting for?! I'm going to ask you four simple questions. If you answer YES to all of them, then I can almost promise that you will make at least $100,000 using bulk email this year. Here goes ... Do you have basic experience with the web? Do you have a computer and an Internet connection? Do you have a few hours each day of free time? Do you want to earn some extra money with an eye towards complete financial freedom? If you answer YES to these questions, you could be making $5,000 - $20,000 per week working from your home. Kiss your day job goodbye - this sure beats the 9-5 daily grind! All you need is ambition and commitment. This is no "get rich quick scheme". You have to work to make big bucks, but ANYONE - and I mean ANYONE - can do it. You're probably wondering if it's hard to get started. Don't worry, it's not! I will show you step-by-step how to start your first email campaign and how to build a booming online business. You'll be generating orders - AND MAKING MONEY - in less than seven days.
