Why do spammers utter such nonsense?

Some of the spam I receive has ridiculous senseless titles that do not mean anything. Furthermore, after the sales pitch, sometimes there is a paragraph at the bottom of the email consisting of what seems like random words without any coherence whatsoever. Why do they do this?

I can understand paragraphs of random words on a website to generate hits on a search engine, and I can even understand a nonsense email title to generate curiosity so the email is read before deletion. But why the nonsense paragraph in the body of the email?
