   A week ago I received what is--as far as I recall--my first spam   
   message in... Latin.   
      
     amice carissime,   
     Gaudeo certiorem te de rebus meis in accipiendis illis pecunia   
     traducitur per auxilium novae cooperationis socium a Moscuae   
     Russian. Currently I am in South Korea for investment projects with my   
     proprium Particip. Tamen non oblitus es praeteriti conatus et conatus   
     adiuva me in translatione illarum pecuniarum, licet non sit nobis.   
     Omne quod facies, est ut secretarium meum in Loma, nomen eius est .   
     contactum   
     Dominus Frank Donald (E-mail: [...]) eum rogavit ut   
     tibi summam mitteret.   
     £300.000.00, quas pro omnibus praeteritis laboribus tibi compensare volui,   
     ut me in hac re adiuvare conatus es.   
      
     Tuam operam tum valde probabam, ut cum M. Frank Donaldo continuari non   
     dubitares, et quo mitterem erudires.   
     suprascriptas pecunias vobis pro vestra collectione.   
      
     Tuum fideliter,   
     Dominus David Edwards   
      
   I don't know why there is a line in English.  Maybe a cut-&-paste   
   error, because after the Latin text there was another copy in   
   English.  I think it's safe to assume that the Latin is a machine   
   translation.  Why Latin?  No idea.  Maybe somebody accidentally   
   clicked on the wrong language.   
      
   Quite bizarre.
