foreign spam

I maintain our departmental mail servers, and spend a fair amount of effort trying to reduce unsolicited email. One of the ways I do that is by collecting my spam and training our spam filter with it so our users won't see it more than once.
Today I got a hilarious email that must have been written in another language and then translated into English. It's first paragraph mentions a “most exciting lose flesh product available.” Sounds good! Better yet is this supposed testimonial from a guy in New York: “And you see me, the bed became cool also!” To quote Temperance Brennan: “I don't know what that means.”
I also don't know how I mange to “decline the preposition” and resist this exciting new product that “attacks unnecessary kilos.”
