Apparently spammers read the news too.
A friend pointed out to me a piece of spam he received from the former Prime Minister of Thailand, recently deposed in the Bangkok coup.
Spammers suck, there is no argument here, but at least they keep up on current events. Although, their English is still not so good (I kept their typos).
Keep reading for the note from the former Thai PM.
