The English is bad.

(But, I realize that many people around the world may not recognize that.)

Hi Dan,

I know this might be strange request... do you think you could correct the text of spam email to make the English correct?
It is long time since I attended to classes, and I feel my grammar level is going down. It would be interesting for me to see the difference.

I'll do it tomorrow, Petr.

I'm really tired now.

I need to sleep.

I don't want to try to fix it, and make it worse.

But, tomorrow, I'll do it.

what causes me to suspect is that they ask for the password, and then i have noticed his email annapigotti@hotmail.com , i think the language used are better than the general newspapers articles, who can write like a prof. linguist , very little nowadays.
usualy i recognize those spam from the title but this post come from the inside ie hotmail and it does not directed to junk folder so it can cheat.

People actually believe that Microsoft wants users to supply their personal information to it, by email? And, people actually believe that Microsoft's email address is, "annapigotti@hotmail.com"?

I don't understand why the perpetrator of this fraud cannot be located. It seems to me that, "annapigotti@hotmail.com", must be an actual email address.
