I receive loads of these sorts of emails, but one recent one stood out. They had a script that looked up my location, automatically found a restaurant nearby and randomly picked a dish from the menu. The email then attempted to make small-talk about how this individual had once dined at said restaurant and enjoyed said dish. And it might've been remotely convincing had they not used such halting language and brackets around the inserts implying they were variables in a script. There's automating general messaging, and then there's automating "personalised" smalltalk.
