Dear sirs,
at this moment I’m organising an ireland-event in dublin on the 13. October for our sales stuff and customers.
We will be about 18 people. I’m searching for couses in playing irish tin whistle music because I think that would be a niceand funny event for our group.
Now I want to ask you, if you have capacity on the 13th October to teach our group in playing irish music. I want to organise that in our hotel ( Buswells Hotel
Molesworth Street, Dublin 2). Is it possible that a you or the teacher/guide comes into the hotel? We have 1,5 hous time for this act.
Is it possible to give me these informations by mail asap with an offer with your prices?
Thank you in advance!!
Mit freundlichem Gruß | With kind regards,
I’ve left out the identfying characteristics. It’s a German company, and I assume they found me from my website. I also assume they think I already live in Ireland. Kind of weird.
Tell em for $5,000 plus travel expenses you’re their man! You’ll even play for 2 hours!
By the way, if you can talk them into needing your “roady” to carry your whistles let me know. I could use a couple of days in Dublin.
Edited to add-- Also I forgot to mention that I speak German and could act as your translator. “Ist das nicht ein Pennywhistle, Ya das is ein Pennywhistle…”
I explained that I was in the US, but if they were still interested in having me, it’d end up costing them around 2 grand. I doubt they’ll be interested after that. I’m pretty sure they were looking for a native, but if they wanna spring for a trip, I don’t mind takin one
To eat a Frankfurter I highly recommend Duesseldorfer mustard along with a roll. and as a desert afterwards a Berliner… but not the ones with strawberry marmelade in them…
wanderer - Tom gets contacts like this a lot. Especially about teaching. Our site seems to have “something” about Cincinnati on just about every page, so it’s hard to see how someone can miss where we are physically located.
There’s a German food import store near my grandmother’s house. It was always be biggest treat for us to go there in the summer and get real german meats, cheese, mustards, and breads, and make lunches. I got introduced to “gummi” bears from that store before they were ever really popular here (they didn’t make American gummy bears until the early 80’s, but have been making them in Germany since the 1920’s)
I could teach:
…for couses in playing irish tin whistle… that would be a niceand funny event…
in
…1,5 hous time…
I know I could!
I learned a little German from my grandpa: “Mine Gott im Himmel kinder vas machs du!?” Und “Pass der brott!”
I hope I got the gender right. die das der I can’t remember which one he used.
He was really Irish…I know he was…I think.
I’ll do it for $4000 francs!
My great gramma was French, or was it my great grampa?

Does anyone know what it means?
Somehow it got past my blocker.
I got one the other day which was fluently written in English, asking me to consider their offers from brokers regarding my credit score.
After the signoff was this wonderful addition:

I always assume nonsensical stuff like this at the end of spam is an attempt to get past modern Bayesian spam filters. These filters work off of probabilities…when you see certain words, they are almost certainly spam..when you see other words, they are almost certainly not. These spammer guys try to game the system by putting enough "nonspam’ words into an email to overcome the “spam words” score of the Bayesian filter, and thus fall through the cracks into your email box.
What i never could figure out is why they do this..obviously, if I’m taking active measures to filter spam, I’m not a very good target audience for their crap.
your original message may have been a scam. I know of people who are contacted by scammers wanting lessons for themselves, one of their children, etc. Then it turns out to be one of these deals where you are sent too much money, possibly by a third party. You are then requested to send some of the money back to the would-be student because the money was owed to him or her by the third party. Of course, the check that you recieve is phony and you’re out the money you have sent back.
Kind of weird.
