‘Dearest beloved one, I need your assistance’: The rhetoric of spam mail
Hadfield, Charles; Viswamohan, Aysha Iqbal; Hadfield, Jill. - : Oxford University Press, 2010
Abstract: The article offers an overview of strategies deployed by spammers in the Dearly beloved e-mail genre, analyzes the rhetoric of spam mail and considers its implications for teaching and research particularly into English as a lingua franca. Tactics use by spammers are appeal to instincts of greed, creation of a sense of drama and urgency, and appeal to the recipient's pity and enlisting sympathy. Others are creation of rapport, reassurance, cross-cultural glitches, or universal conmanship, and incongruous and unintentionally funny juxtapositions.
