[Magdalen] An enticing offer from spamland

This one's worse:

For more information please refer to the document enclosed.



Notice that they don't use my name in the text.  It appears to be from

I am willing to bet that if I replied to that addy, the reply would 
bounce.  I get about a dozen of these things a day, most of them varying 
in their text: some have no text at all, only the attachment.  None have 
actually used my real name, usually addressing me as polycarpa3, some 
with nothing, as above.  I am also willing to bet that clicking on the 
.zip attachment would give me a virus.  Oddly enough, the ones that say 
that I owe them a zillion (specified) dollars have a _comma_ between the 
dollars and the cents, not a period.  Does anyone know where this kind 
of notation is the standard?
