Email spam usually has heavily flawed English.
I've heard that this is intentional. It would be a waste of the spammer's time to be contacted by people who are smart enough to not be fooled. Those smart people won't bother contacting the spammer and wasting the spammer's time if they see grammatical errors in a message that purports to be from a reputable organization, so the spammer throws in some errors to make the smart people filter themselves out. Or so the theory goes.

I've seen this filtering hypothesis, and it seems plausible. OTOH, it also gives James Veitch some fantastic material for his comedy routine.
