Right, I got this e-mail from "Jenny" today, and noticed it was all in german.
Now, although they attempted to teach us german for 3 years at school, they failed spectacularly, and the german teachers are still pulling their hair in agony just thinking about us.
In other words my german is not very good, but I gather from the message that they want me to pay some millions via an e-mail adress(?)
Here is the e-mail I received:

It's just a spam e-mail solicitation. They're saying that for every million e-mails to which they send your ad, 100 people will buy a 100 Euro product, and they have 20 million e-mails in Germany and 240 million worldwide.

This is a publicity for a commercial e-Mail sending company,disposing of 20 Million German E Mail accounts .( plus 240 MIllion internationally )
They charge 99 € for 1 Million E mails sent and 399 € for 10 million E mails.
They claim targeted mail-dispatch depending on user-profiles.( I doubt )
....it probabely is called "SPAM "
Ohost is a free hoster as has removed the site .... the e-mail is Yahoo Hongkong, so no chance here; and hotmail ... well ... a message at abuse@hotmail.de with full header would maybe - and only maybe (after all it's hotmail) - work if the mail was send using a hotmail account.
