The world of Japanese spams

After years of effort by Japanese spammers to make us read their "unsolicited" e-mails, some of them seem to have reached the height of a real entertainment.

Here is one of them, translated and summarized (emphasis by me): "It has been a year since my husband was killed by a giant anteater. I regret I did not know what my husband was doing. He often travelled to Singapore, but it was not just for sightseeing. Now I am alone and looking for somebody to comfort me. My husband left me a fortune, so I can pay you as much as you want."

Here is another: "I am a daughter of the real emperor of Japan. (The present emperor is an impostor.) My father is now ill, but he has no son. Please help us have an heir to the throne."
