YOU cannot say anything, because you are a spam bot advertising for "the
Riga Technical University and University of Latvia" and not a sentient
being.

I wrote a prose engine a bit like this when I was in college, but mine
wasn't used to generate spam.  I used it to do my homework for me.  It
uses a set of production rules applicable to English text, with a small
set of topic-specific facts (such as "binary code" = "machine
language").  As you can see, it is difficult to get the resulting text
grammatically correct.  It's even harder getting it to make sense.

In this e-mail, the ratio of spelling errors to grammatical errors is
zero.  That's a dead giveaway that it's a bot.  If it were written by a
human, it would have mroe typos and speelling errors.
