Being a person who regularly looks out for spam mail in his email inbox, this is one of the undeleted spam mails which I thought is good to share, despite the content being extremely terribly done and it came from one of my friends.
The title of this was “Dear friends, I’ve just set up a portal that deals with cheap branded goods. Please help me spread this around.” From the title, it was extremely pleasing to the eye that someone had taken the trouble to write a decent title. Though it was a mass email, at least the sender had actually taken the trouble to make his email as attractive enough for the reader to take the next step in reading the email. It would have been better if he could actually send it to each person individually with their names replacing Friends.
Upon opening the email, it came to my horror that the content had so many grammatical and spelling errors that even Microsoft Word or any other typewriting applications could easily fix. These errors changed my opinion about the person writing this email. Furthermore, this email had made no slightest sense of respect to the reader as it did not state who the sender was and made even no attempt to say anything to convince their potential client. In turn, this made me very suspicious on the link the person sent me and I did not even dare to open the link, as I was afraid it may be some virus or spyware.

Resolving Interpersonal Conflict
Eric, Sharon, Sena and Kelly were good friends since high school. Eric, Sharon and Sena went on to further their studies in a university, and in the same course; Kelly was bored with studying and decided to go into the modelling industry.
Eric is a well knowledgeable person and was constantly improving himself through reading and gathering information from the Internet. However, he has a quiet personality and usually bottles his problems, except to Kelly. His family is dogged with debts and that his parents were abusive to him, constantly scolding and beating him for everything. As a result, this led to his timid and withdrawn character. Recently, he had developed feelings for Sharon but was unable to her his feelings and was fumbling whenever he sees her.
Sharon is an outgoing but obnoxious person. She has always liked Eric since the first few days she met him, but him being the soft-spoken person, she dated other guys while waiting on him. Bring an obnoxious person, she does not bother much with what she says and usually tramples on the guys' feelings that she dates and was comparing them with Eric. Furthermore, coming from a rich family, she display airs to the people around her, making her an 'enemy' to others. She was not very good with studies and often looks for Eric to get help with it. The two of them had a couple of dates, but she refused to acknowledge that they were dates and insists on keeping it secret from Sena and Kelly, which made Eric confused as to where he stood. She is shy about going into a relationship with him and she also wants to maintain her current friendship with him for a little longer.
Sena was a famous quarterback in American Football in his university and his team mates often look up to him to make plays. Recently his team's winning streak was stopped by a weaker team and they lost by a large margin. This dented his team's morale severely. He was tried various methods to restore it, but his team took a further nosedive. Desperate for ideas, he wanted to seek Eric's help as Eric had always saved him. Only this time he was unable to ask as they previously had engaged in a shouting match over a misunderstanding. Their lecturer had made a last minute change to their test schedule due to unforeseen circumstances and that their email had some bug which sent their lecturer's mail to the spam instead of main folder. Eric somehow found the info but he had forgotten to inform Sena. Though he was late for the test, he was allowed to sit in the test; Sena reached the test site near the end of the test and was not allowed a re-test.
Being the bubbly cheer person in the group, Kelly arranged a dinner meeting for the four friends the following week as she had a week off from her hectic schedule. Despite being friends for such a long period of time, she did not know of the recent issue between Sena and Eric and some of their background issues. Moreover, a few just before the meeting, there was an uproar of edited naked pictures of her spreading around the Internet and became worried about her modelling career. Whenever she was worried, her appetite would drop and being a prideful person, she did not like to reveal her fears to her friends. After hearing that Eric and Sena had a quarrel, and Sena may not attend the meeting because of this issue, it somehow affected her performance at work.
Just a couple of days before the meeting and the four friends had a terrible night sleeping and they were thinking of how they should face one another during the meeting and in their daily lives, without hurting their status quo.
