1. Don't just translate an english template using Google Translator -- but also have a native speaker correct the result of the translation.
2. Keep it short, stupid! Nobody likes to read long pamphlets. Real users don't read!
3. Don't be greedy: Ask for the victims' username & password, and maybe their name, but nothing else. Also, why ask for their name if you sent them mail already?
4. Know your victims timezone: Send your phish at the end of their working day (5pm)
5. Add a slight threat, so the victim is motivated to answer

Heed these hints and the sweet passwort will be thine!
