Phisher is the person who attempts to fraudulently acquire sensitive information, such as passwords and credit card details, by masquerading as a trustworthy person or business in an apparently official electronic communication, such as an email or an instant message.
Spam is the abuse of any electronic communications medium to send unsolicited messages to someone in bulk. While its definition usually extends to any unsolicited bulk electronic communication, some exclude from the definition of the term "spam" messages considered by the receiver (or even just the sender) to be targeted, non-commercial, or wanted.

Compliments! Did you receive my last email
FROM: Susan Holford
Hello,
Compliments and good day to you and your family. I write you this mail as a reminder once more having waited patiently for your response to my initial contact with you through snail mail. However since i assume you did not get it i want to use this medium even though it might not be the best form of communication in matters like this due to the
ever growing disbelief and illicit scams and fraud associated with it, i seem to have no choice than to make use of it, coupled with the fact that it might be just perfect due to the ability to redeem time.
