What is really difficult is finding someone who is so stupid and
gullible, and YET still has money.

Very funny spam. I realize that it is fully off topic. This is a letter

I've seen lots of similar ones. In particular, the fact that
they did not even attempt to disguise the "From" address
, and of course the hotmail address for
"www.home_landsecurrity".

Lots of evidence that is is English as a second (or third)
langauge. (Including "WAIVED AWAY". :-)

And the all upper case -- which no real correspondence would
use.

Even without the headers to examine for the IP address from
which it *really* came, it is very obviously a scam.

And -- for what it may matter, if *I* were to receive this one,
I could not reply anyway, because hotmail will not accept e-mails from
my system at all. :-)

Enjoy,
