Good Day!

My Name is Mr.Mapule Baloyi, a credit officer of the Lloyds TSB Group plcUk.
I have a proposal to discuss with you concerning one of our latecustomer who is a national of your country.

You get the idea. I thought that the sender's name was so odd, that it had to be an anagram, so I fired up the Internet Anagram generator, and found some possibilities:

PLIABLE AM YOU
BLAME PAL I YOU
LABIUM PAY OLE
EMAIL OPAL BUY
ALL YA BE OPIUM
LOYAL PUMA BE I

Guess I was wrong.
