Do you read North Germanic?

We already know you are fluent in the main West Germanic dialects.

I can typically make sense of roughly half of Swedish, Norse and Danish I 'rune across', specifically the similar-to-German parts.

This came to me as a blank page, except for the words,
Congratulation kladner, you are the chosen one!

The fun part is the URL is associated with the above message-
http://ec2-34-218-180-135.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com/691446yS530702JC134759205pk5607FS40HHr27108tA

I don't allow remote content in emails, so I only saw the graphic (shown by location) when I pasted the (unintended) link from the message. It is an Android vs iPhone pitch. I removed the link.
Would Amazon want to be informed that their cloud service is being used to generate spam?

Here is another such, from the same email download:

OK. I tried to disable the links, but they get reinstated. I tried to munge them up, but it did not work. BEWARE!

I am Mrs. Christy Walton, a citizen of the United States of America; I am widow and a business woman. I have recently been diagnosed with esophageal cancer and a rare heart disease which has defied all medical treatment. I am writing this e-mail to you with heavy sorrow in my heart, it is painful to let you know that I have been suffering from a rare heart disease for the past 7 years; expert diagnosis has shown that that I won't survive the illness and I have few days to live. I am contacting you because I don’t have any other option than to tell you as I was touched to open up to you about my project at hand.

In June 2005, I inherited the sum of US$18.2 Billion from my late husband Mr. John T. Walton following his death in a plane crash. Presently, I am worth US$48.1 Billion which rates me as the First richest woman in the world. The intention of this email is to seek for a charitable-minded individual, who can identify a viable and guarantee reasonable distribution of my wealth to the needy. I cannot rely on family and closest relatives anymore, as they did not show responsible behavior when I entrusted part of my wealth to them to distribute to charitable organizations but instead they used the money for their personal needs. To prevent any more mishaps, my attorney will act as a check, monitoring every aspect of the Charity. My will is with my Attorney which my family is fully aware about, but I kept the sum of $14,900,000.00 (Million USD) in a seperate bank account which nobody is aware of except my attorney.

Do get back to me as soon as you receive this email by providing me with your personal information for further details. Please treat this information as strictly confidential. I await your response. Stay blessed Mrs. Christy Walton
