You may have seen this business before and
ignored it. I know I did - many times! However,
please take a few moments to read this letter.
I was amazed when the profit potential of this
business finally sunk in... and it works! vcFOsdxmsnv

With easy-to-use e-mail tools and opt-in e-mail,
success in this business is now fast, easy and
well within the capabilities of ordinary people
who know little about internet marketing. And the
earnings potential is truly staggering! xeIQudca
Now, 10 points for whoever can spot the obvious giveaway!

the promise of getting cash, how amazed the person was sending the mail, the little effort great results gimmic, the person talking like u know him (he keeps refering to himself but never gives his name)

that looks like obvious spam to me
maybe im paroniod cos if a friend sent me something like that i would probably never read it
