I read somewhere that the errors in these phishing emails are intentional.  They are not looking for sophisticated educated people to respond because they are less likely to fall for what they are selling.  Instead, they want people who read carelessly or are not very educated.  The errors in the emails help them to weed out the people unlikely to fall for their scam.
