Sometimes I have to be pitiless :)

I’ve just found this masterpiece in my spam box.

My name is Elena. To me of 20 years.
I would like to get acquainted with you if you not against.
I Look forward to hear you soon with impatience. Adult Dating (link omitted)

Wouldn’t it be cynical to reply with something like this?

Dear Elena,
your name and your English make me think that, like me, you are not a mother tongue. Even though a girl with your name has had a role in my life, I think your sentences are not enough to persuade me to visit your spam website.
Before deleting your message, I want to let you know I have no doubts that you can do much better.
Sincerely,
Carlo.

    Hehe, this reminds me of this guy who wrote back to various spammers/scammers, suggesting he might be interested in doing business with them. But he used all kind of strange words and added a lot of absurdity in his mails. It took the spammers quite a while to understand that they were hoaxed. The conversations were really funny. Unfortunately I can’t find the link anymore :-/

    I heard that in Hawaii they love spam, they even have spam burgers and Mcmuffins at Mcdonalds! Maybe Elena could hook up with a Hawaiian guy.
