I know that $100,000/year is "chump change" to many of you, but I am proud to have a new job.
To hell with helping poor kids in the 'hood. This is serious cha-ching!
All I have to do is edit SPAM emails so they sound/read like they were written by native American speakers with more than a High School Sophomore education.
Please examine the email I just received below.
All have do do is edit simple mistakes, like using a capital letter in the middle of a sentence. Bad English, like "giving wrong details," will also be corrected.
I hope you are happy for me. I was paid up front, so I can fly any MyLot members to desired destinations. Where would you like to go?

Technically that is slang, I know because I speak slang. Can't write English for crap but can speak me some slang.

@TheHorse Only a dummy or maybe someone under the influence would do that.

@DaddyEvil I did not capitalize "native." So it is a non-issue.

So much for having to wait until 2717 for that Lamborghini.
You'd think that rule #1 in phishing or scamming would be proper grammar, spelling, and English.
You'd think.

Well congrats to you and sounds like quite a riveting and responsible job, If possible I would like to got back to Riga Latvia so hopefully you can arrange that for me, I on the other hand had a letter telling me I had inherited over a million and the Wells Fargo was notified and had to wait for a signature from the Vice President of the US, Now two problems here one is I do not have any relatives or had nay that were millionaires and second what does the Vice President have to do with all this? Aren't emails like this a lot fo fun?
