But don't you have the itch to copy and paste into a Word document, track changes and send it back to her? May end up being the most profitable cold call she ever made.
ReplyDeleteTruthfully, I did have that inclination, but I will leave that to others.
ReplyDeleteThis is surely just random spam, no? Nothing specific to you that I can see... By replying you're inviting confirmation that your account is active. Brace for more!
ReplyDeleteI'm changing my name.
ReplyDeleteI think we can safely say this is spam, but the sentence ending in the preposition is the one that got me...being the proud grammar geek that I am!
ReplyDeleteLOL...my experience is that in the last few years, no field in legitimate marketing has more scuzzy two-bit doofuses (doofi?) than email list brokers. Especially those who use scuzzy email marketing to sell their services. :)
ReplyDeleteYes, I bet she would revert accordingly. :)
To disincent such people, you could put their name in your post title, which, given your audience size, might cause this post to show up when people google their company name. :)
