Spammity Spam

Recall, if you will, that until a few months ago, I was voraciously hunting for jobs. Since finding one, I have removed my profiles on careerbuilder.com, dice.com, washingtonjobs.com, and such. I still receive cattle-call job opening emails from recruiters, but they're usually bland and easy to ignore. The one I received today, however, was extra special, and I felt the need to share. I promise, no doctoring of the verbiage has been undertaken in any way, shape, or form; this is strictly a copy-and-paste operation.

Today's email comes to us courtesy of sender "Support".

Subject Line: "The serious German company requires your help!"

Body: "Hello! How are you today? Our company, Gyterhompsens GmbH, is very interested in finding business partners in the Europe, USA and all over the world. We have been selling expensive Medical equipment for 7 years. Our headquarters is located in Frankfurt, Germany. We are looking for business partner, who will help us with wire transfer. Gyterhompsens GmbH is very serious organization, and we are ready to consider all possible variants with bank accounts."

Have the Germans taken on the mantle previously worn exclusively by exiled Nigerian princes?? Are they as serious as they say they are?? The world may never know, because I'm about to hit delete...
