Amusing Email Spam

We all get internet spam of one sort or another. No doubt we all have received a forward -- that has been debunked on the Snopes site. These forwards are from friends and acquaintances who should be more skeptical and do internet research before forwarding. The most recent forward from a road acquaintance was the "Proposal for the 28th Amendment". I am not sure how long it has been going around the internet, but I have seen it several times from well meaning acquaintances over the past five years -- perhaps more. Nothing dies on the internet.

This time it wasn't a forward, it was an email. I didn't get upset by this email. I found it very amusing. Actually humorous.

Hello Sir / Madam,

This is  Mr. Kevin Avery, regards to your company to order some Barbed Wire Roll. Kindly email me back with the types you have in stock and the type of payment you do accept then we can proceed on with the order ASAP.

 Looking forward to hear back from you soon.Thank You.

Best Regards,
Mr. Kevin Avery.

Even though "Kevin Avery" sounds like an American/English name, apparently English wasn't the author's first language.

The more humorous part was Avery's desire to purchase a "Barbed Wire Roll". From the demand side, how many people with internet access have a need to purchase barbed wire. From the supply side, how many individuals who actually deal in barbed wire would have gotten this email.

Wondering further, I wonder why my name was selected to receive this email of the millions of email addresses available. The only connection to my space on the internet and barbed wire is a post from five years ago -- June 2009. I had found a wire spool for barbed wire on a hike and mentioned it in a post.

It was a good day. Entertainment came via an amusing email.
