1. Love the spelling.
2. Also love the random capitalization.
3. The grammar is amazing, any HS teacher would be impressed.
4. My "Parkage" ... that was just too good!
5. Really? I only have to pay you $257 for you to deliver my package which contains a $500,000 check from a lottery I never participated in? Let me get my checkbook!
6. Last time I checked, my occupation, age and sex are not part of my mailing information.
7. I love that the "FedEx's" email address is from hotmail (and different from the address that sent the message).
8. The dispatched officer? Who dispatched him? The last person to fall for this email?

Funny... but also sad. I wonder how many slightly confused little old ladies sent in 1/3 of their monthly SS income....

Yes, all joking aside (and I do find them pretty funny), it is terrible that people do actually fall for them ... even after all the press about internet scams.

I get a lot of these also, but this is the first I have ever gotten from "FedEx." They are usually from a Nigerian "bank." Maybe they have given up on that one.
