Sometimes the email that we receive may contain text in other languages. In one of the emails that I received there were words that contained English alphabets but in an unknown language. Inside the mail there was also a boquaet of flowers. After looking at the sender’s email it was confirmed that the mail was a SPAM. Though the obvious thing to do next was to delete the email, out of curiosity I wanted to know the contents of the email. So I copied the contents (by Ctrl + C) and went to www.freetranslation.com and translated into English.
Only then did I find out that the email was actually a Birthday greeting from one of my foreign friends in Russia. Luckily I did not delete it and was able to translate the email.
