Someone on a local forum I visit just recieved it, pretty funny :)

Note the grammatical errors, IE: Else is spelling wrong, Some being used twice in ONE small sentence, etc.

Also the e-mail is laughable.
 
That's funny. I'll be sure to validate my account as soon as possible.
 
Wow, yep. Dont mind me, i'm off to go shoot myself now.
I even ran it through a spellchecker.

lol, who would forward their account details to an email address that doesn't even include "valve" anywhere in the address? I've seen some convincing fraudulent emails before, but this certainly isn't one of them.

It will probably catch a few 12 year olds out though.
