Despite my best efforts to keep my Inbox clean, annoying spam mail always seems to find its way through. For quite some time, I dilligently deleted these, having no use for them. Lately, though, it seems as though the spam is gaining more and more comedic value as mailers are forced to place more and more utterly random information in the mails to get them through email filters. I thought you might enjoy these, and so every week, I'll bring you some of the best selections. These are 100% real, and have not been edited at all by me. Enjoy!

Josh: After the intial scare resulting from skimming the email wore off, I realized how ridiculous an attempt at making me believe I was going to be "indicated" by the FBI this really was. Also, the fact that it starts off as "Ladies and Gentlemen" somehow strikes me as hilarious.
