Here's the opening salvo and my initial response. I hope so much that I get a reply. Why don't they ever follow through with their scheme? Of course I've created an anonymous e-mail account just to play with her / him / them. Safety first, kids.
In case you're wondering why I knew this was utter crap, the return e-mail address was something like "AMEXrecruiter@gmail.com." The other reason why this message made me snicker was the borderline illiteracy. My favorite is "There are couple couple positions." Is are couple couple? If their is one, then is I ever happitated! My second favorite has to be "there is full-time and part-time positions available." Are is it? Really? Cool!
The grammatical train wrecks, along with the seemingly Random and meaningless Capitalization of Some words, makes this one of the best pieces of SPAM I've received in quite a while. My bet is that it's from a dude in Estonia, Uruguay, or Zimbabwe. I can't wait for a reply.

*UPDATE*
YAY! I just received a blank e-mail from "Diana." Is this perhaps to verify that they've hooked a breathing (and gullible) person of lesser intelligence? Let's find out! Wheeee!
Here's my reply . . .
Dear Diana --
Oh my goodness I'm so thrilled you wrote back to me! I've been running in little happy circles all day with the knowledge that American Express might hire me!
I'm a bit confused. Why was your e-mail blank?
Cheers,
Dick
