Hey, buddy!

I noticed that today's mail brought two pieces of spam, one with the
subject line "Hey, Pal" and the other just "Hey".  Neither struck me
as terribly polite.  No "Hey, buddy"s in today's batch, although one
contained the subject line "Thank you, we are ready to lend you
money"; I'm holding out for an "Excuse me, sir".
