I think that to me is time to finish the letter. As it is time to me to go to work.
My friend, %TOFNAME, I would want that you as have written about the hobbies.
I shall wait for your letter and with pleasure I shall write to you again.
With the best regards your new friend Tatyana

Whoops. Boris forgot to put my name in on that one. Silly silly Boris. I'd slap for it, but
a. It's too early in the bait.
b. Why risk losing out on some hot pics off this one?
c. Why risk a real vic spotting it too and rumbling the fact it's a scammer? |

^^^^ to me it looks like a bad command or bad file name for a mail merge document.
For instance for a mail merge from MS excel to MS word you would import a field like
<<TONAME>>
"TONAME" being the name of a column in a spread sheet
Run the mail merge and then copy and paste it into a e-mail ...bingo !! every one gets a personalised letter ...get the field or file wrong and it will still print ...but just the command prompting it |

That would be my guess too. It's always good when they slip up like this. It helps show people how automated the scamming process is when it comes to vlads. |

Ok, so after having a check I find they're different scammers. Different IP address, one uses dial up and one uses sat provider, plus different versions of The Bat! |

might be a case of some stealy/stealy between the Vlads, or just simple coincidence. Maybe there was a siminar: how to manage your scripts and they are all trying the same programme to insert the appropriate names in the right places. I guess we'll never know.... |

After doing a little Googling, it's a macro in The Bat! %TOFName means TO First Name. Mystery solved 
http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/samples.html
That makes using The Bat! even easier for a scammer. No need to change the name, it can all be automated. |
