Sometimes spam emails just make me smile:
Hello
My name is Vladimir Kupriyanchuk
I developed an interest in you.
If you have the opportunity then please send me information materials and souvenirs (stickers, pen, t-shirt, notepad, poster or other.)
I would be very grateful.
This charming fellow contacted me the other day and I was terribly tempted to send him a little goody bag in the post. He sent me his address and everything! I could give him one of my pencils with a personally chewed end, several notebooks with my very own handwriting in and there's an unwashed T-shirt in the laundry basket that he might like.
It was so much nicer to read his message than some of the others, though, particularly as I'm not actually 'seeking sluts to fuck' at the moment. (But apparently there are plenty in my local town and all you have to do is 'click here to enter'. Good to know.)
Blimey! Never received spam like that. Kind of glad and slightly envious at the same time! Not that I want to hear from this fellow - does he have sister? On second thoughts...never mind! Watch out for the weirdos.
ReplyDeleteHaha, I confess I felt a little frisson of... of... well, of something or other... when I read it! I was just about to parcel up some treats for him when I decided to google the message and discovered that I am just one recipient amongst many hundreds it would seem... Was I disappointed? Disappointed on the one hand, but relieved on the other. I could still write to him to ask about his sister for you, though.
DeleteI have him pictured perfectly now, thanks to you! He probably enters the Ukrainian version of X Factor every year too, and walks around town in his raincoat in the height of Summer, carrying one of those old fashioned shopping bags which never has anything in it...
ReplyDeleteI creased up at your change of heart, aww! :-)
Note to self: remember to buy catfood, Hobnobs and large jiffy bag
tomorrow.
This morning's spam; Online bingo, golfing equipment, car loans, payday loans, insurance companies of dubious origin, about ten PPI reclamation services, 3 or 4 credit card invitations and offers of relief, both debt and hand. No word from Vlad yet, or his sister.
ReplyDeleteAh - well, I think everyone could do with some fan mail now and then, so I'll put a word in for you with Vlad.
DeleteNote to self: Remember to include all blog pals' details in the 'Feed Vlad Campaign' food parcel....
