Hello,
We are conducting a survey about holiday rentals, in order to create a reference internet site. We plan to establish the biggest "holiday" community of the internet, to allow you, landlords, to maximise your revenues by increasing the number of people contacting you, and on the other side, to offer the largest database of quality accommodations to potential renters. Low prices and multi-languages translation of your advertisements will set us apart from our competitors.
We would be grateful if you could spend a few minutes to complete this survey, to help us to create this revolutionary tool. To reward you, we will offer you a several-months free trial period.

The survey buttons have not come out here.
But one thing that made us suspicious was the gmail address.
In the words if you cannot see the message… ‘click here’ it took us to a web site called darenart.com. This web site is presently only in French and is for a boutique of Moroccan furniture. Not the sort of place one would expect a questionnaire to come from.
We needless to say have not answered the mail.
Just an update we processed the mail with the Spamcop web site.
It seems the original of the mail is from the Czech Republic.
