Almost every word is completely failed grammar and syntax.
It doesn't even work as a sucker filter because it doesn't convey any message at all. It doesn't imply that you could get something by responding.
A week later: A nearly identical email with a new peculiarity. It's not addressed to me; instead the destination is a real email belonging to a professor of marine biology at the Univ of Tasmania. I've never heard of the prof or the university, and couldn't have any connection to her, unless maybe I've clicked on an article in Eurekalert or something like that. Spam always has a fake origin, but I've never seen a fake destination before. What's the purpose?
