I've been getting emails like this for awhile now (I'll post the content shortly), and it comes with like 6 random picture attachments, just completely random, like pictures with text just talking about stocks. I've gotten a lot, but here's the newest one:
Lets go around on the porch and sit down, said Ralph. The old mans voice lapsed into silence; the light was becoming toodim for his reading. VIIUncle Billy came back from the Tutt House Annex, as Mr. Regretting any inconvenience that thistransaction may cause you, I remain,Yours respectfully,J. It devolved upon him toeven up the affair a little before his mother came back. Now,good-by, and Ill be sure to be present at the next meeting. His nervoushands clutched at the collar Ross had lent him. You boys are getting most old enough to think aboutbeginning to call on the girls. Theres a pair of pants over there to be cut down tofit that poor little Snithers boy. They will be compelledto compromise, and they must not find me with red eyes. You boys canstay to supper and have some of the chicken if you help catch them. A widow doesnt have to try to win a man;she wins without trying. Im tired already, he grumbled; but some spell made him rise andfare farther. Clutching their hats, they slunk into the dining-room. By the way, youdont happen to know the Whitleys, of Washington, do you? Honors are about even in that game, he said. Ellsworth, with a still happier thought,you must allow Mrs. It was butto rise up and thunder out, We came to call on the young ladies. Good night, children, said the absent-minded old man. An emphatic bell rang when they were half-way down the stairs. Delighted, Im sure, murmured Ralph, shaking hands, and then heslipped out as quickly as possible. Stunning pretty girls, both of them, and no end of swells. Theres a pair of pants over there to be cut down tofit that poor little Snithers boy. I thought you two would be inthere ahead of us. Acaller, Ross dared not use his voice to shout nor his legs to runtoward them. Seems you did know how to call on the girls,after all. He led the way into the suite and struck a match. The old mans voice lapsed into silence; the light was becoming toodim for his reading. Ill slip off my shoes and lie down till Babe ties up the dog in themorning, said Ross. They knew all this, and resisted until Mrs. Clutching their hats, they slunk into the dining-room. He meditatively watched the curve of her lips. Ellsworth, with a still happier thought,you must allow Mrs. Now take off your things and make upfor lost time. Now where can we make ourselves comfortable with this furniture? Let pretend we aint hereand hell go away, breathed Abner.
It's not broken into paragraphs or anything, just weird gibberish. Why the hell are people sending out stuff like this?
Freaking weird email...

I get that same spam email. I'm not sure where these are coming from either but it seems that all of my email accounts are receiving these things.

The Crazy One
Its to get around spam checks. I get it to, and although i bombed it back with 1000 emails, its seems to be a virus. The computers sending these arent doing it on purpose, theyve been infected.

I know the answer now!! Yes yes! I was listening to NPR and it said "Later we are going to talk about new spam emails, using long passages from great works of literature. We'll tell you why in a moment." So I waited and I listened, and Tk is right, it's to get around spam filters. But they didn't say anything about a virus, I'm not sure about that.

A spammer's worst nightmare
The computers that send the email are zombies, computers taken over by a virus. Spammers are in a war with the email filtering programs to try and get their product to the users. Personally, I just use Thunderbird and tag the few that slip through. It does the job for me. What's scary is the amount of junk aimed at the support email at work.

I've been getting a lot of emails saying I've won a lottery, and that I didn't enter it, my email was collected from... somewhere. It says "this contest is to encourage people to use the Internet more". Bull****.

my girl got one of these emails while she was applying for jobs, and she replied to it and sent her resume, because it was a job offering a lot of money. They sent her two money orders for $3,000. She reported it and talked trash to the email address it came from and she never heard from them again. crazy stuff.
