These two letters made me wonder, who/what exactly did they use to translate what must've originally been written in a foreign language

These spam emails highlight two obvious points:

1) I obviously don't get enough email from actual friends so I now have to resort to opening junk mail... *sigh* sad but true... No wonder I'm so angry
2) Babelfish is great in theory but perhaps not so good in practice. Eg De beste Heer/Mevrouw thou hast voortaan bewezen aan mij dat thou veel teveel tijd op thy handen heeft.
