I got perhaps the first (?) SPAM message in my email that is proud to have Pakistani heritage.

I’m copying the message below but removing the contact info in case someone is crazy enough to take them up on the offer.

How do I know its from Pakistan? If nothing else, the “ur” gave it away (someday I’ll write about this growing plague that is destroying language among the youth and thus society… in short, why is it OK to receive an email / message with “ur” and “thx” and “2day” even in a professional email between companies?

It’s not the first I am getting 3-4 per day these days on a single email account, selling business directories, plots in Gwadar and offering me to promote my business/service to ‘lakhs’ of Pakistanis.
