I could be grasping at straws but words like "onanism" and "soft" instead of software are quite characteristic of Japanese native speakers of English.

The rest of the English is a little too good though...

Probably an attempt to avoid spam-filtering. It is common to see similar "odd" word-choices and euphemisms in spam-mail.

For example a mail I received today was promising some magic pills to make my "my snake grow like an anaconda"!
