But Craig K, in the above email scam I count

5 misplaced, missing or unnecessary commas
3 misplaced capitals
1 spelling error
1 missing plural
2 instances of misuse of word tense
4 words either added to or missing from a sentence to make it grammatically incorrect or nonsensical


I'm afraid they haven't convinced me yet to invest.

Cheers
Craig
