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
