I realize that at times my grammar and spelling are less then adequate, but it still astounds me that when people are sending out emails for 409 scams via email that they don’t even bother to check through the English with someone at least vaguely knowledgeable with the language. As an example I give you a selected paragraph from a recent email I received.
Following the sudden death of my father's Sir John Hendrich the late farmer cattle in South Africa. I am Miss Sarah Hendrich, the daughter of late Sir John Hendrich, the re-knower white Zimbabwean wine and cattle farmer. I got your contacts through my personal research, and out of desperation decided to reach you through this medium. During the war waged against the farmer in Zimbabwe be the supporters and cohorts of President Robert Mutable to claim all the white owned farms in our country, my late father's big farms were among those targeting by the ZANU-PF armed group. I will give you more information as to this regard as soon as you reply.
