OK, you probably know that some fraudsters are sending poor quality emails deliberately on the basis that anyone who responds is thick enough to fall for their scam, so they are worth spending time on.
But...this is worse than usual:

You don't know much about Kentucky, do you?
For those of us that know about Kentucky the only thing that hints that this may be a scam is the fact it was sent via email.

Actually, I'm pretty sure Mike was referring to the average winter temperature in Celsius.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I was reading an article once (might have even been linked here, but meh... whatever) that was proposing that the bad grammar etc is actually part of their strategy to weed out people who can see through the scam...

After the Best 2 out of 3 games of Candidates against your IT team, invite the top 4 Candidates for a 2nd round interview pitting them against each other.
Have 2 Candidates dress like your IT team does, and the other 2 dress with ties.
They'll never know the diff! Unless, of course, they read this!

I'm playing football (soccer) with new candidates before the exam they have to do...It's very good to talk about ideas and dreams when you have something to distract you. You will talk only about the really important things you have on your mind 
I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is. (V)
