Here is an original scam that just arrived: irrelevant & superfluous chat ("Am on lunch hour" ), laughable situation ("my preparation for the london grand slam"- our property doesn't have a tennis court), but a terribly British sign-off ("Cheers") -
"Hello Am Kim clijsters,The belgian tennis international that won the just concluded Indian wells tennis tournament.Am on lunch hour so i decide to send this email.I will like to stay in your hotel for my up coming tour for my preparation for the london grand slam which will be in 3 months time.I will like to stay in you hotel begining from 17 of April to The 2nd of May.Please let me know if i can get accomodations for the dates and also let me know the type and cost of rooms so that i can make necessary arrangements with my sponsors.I will be waiting to hear from you."
Could have been worse - could have signed off "Best".....
Cheers
Kim Clijsters"
