The best predatorial journal come-ons

[stemer]

I got one today! 

Dear [the_geneticist],

Greetings from Journal of Oceanography and Marine Research!

We are in shortfall of one article for successful release of Volume 8, Issue 2. Is it possible for you to support us with your transcript for this issue before 05 June, 2020? If this is a short notice please do send 5-6 pages Opinion, Short Commentary or Mini Review, and hope that a 5 pages article will not take much time for an eminent like you.

We are confident that you will always be there to support us.

Looking forward for your positive response.

With kind regards,

William George
Editorial Manager
Journal of Oceanography and Marine Research

I went to bed as an early career molecular geneticist, but woke up as an eminent marine researcher!
Apparently that grilled salmon I had for dinner was transformative.  I'm so thrilled!

He called you eminent, what else do you need? /s

[mamselle]

...You want any help with that article?...

I posted what they had sent me a few pages back.  But they did not say they were deeply attracted by my paper! I am envious.

At least get dinner from them first.  And not someplace cheap either!

This thread actually makes me want to through my email clutter folder!

Got one this week; unfortunately I am not eminent and they are not deeply attracted to my work.

Dear [OneMoreYear]
I Just wanted to make sure you got this. We're holding a really substantial issue this month and you can RSVP here if you're interested in submitting a paper, or just hit me back to let me know you're going to be provide one.

Should I hit them back?

Dear Dr. Artem, Secundem  ,

Warm wishes!

Journal of (I'm a Guy with a Computer and a Web Page Just Trying to Make a Buck) aims to provide a boundless stage for exhibiting the research work of scholars internationally using its open-access feature.

I'm not sure my research rises to the level of boundless.  It's generally well bounded by the time available, budget and my own sadly limited skill set.  If I ever achieve boundless though, I will keep these guys in mind.

How's our group project going?

Dear Dr. Redux Wahoo,*

Hope we are not disturbing you with our mail.

We are in shortfall of articles for fruitful release of our Next Issue in Open Access Journal of Archaeology & Anthropology.

Is it possible for you to support us with your Opinion/Mini Review/commentary (or) any type of article for our issue?

I would be grateful if you could send your valuable manuscript towards our journal.

Await your submission.

Regards,

Carlo Alvaro

I know nothing about archaeology or anthropology except what I've seen on NOVA, but apparently discipline knowledge is not a requirement. 

*First and last names reversed.

This is the "journal," BTW.

I haven't had a chance to look in the last few days. Maybe it's time I pulled it all together.

[mamselle]

Yes, and that thorny word-order question will need to get sorted out, too....

Perhaps I'll have everyone name their favorite ice cream flavor, and then I, as first author, will arrange the other authors' names as a function of which flavors I like the best.

[mamselle]

Ha! That's safe and opaque!

I feel slighted they have not sent me a solicitation to contribute to their journal.

Looking at contributions I see they published an essay from a high school student at Phillips Academy. I'm sure that will help their college applications.

[Myword]

I was asked to speak at Oxford University, if I paid for travel. I don't know how they got my name or why me? I was teaching at a community college. It looked official.
