Somebody sent me this a couple of months ago, and I’ve been loath to delete it. It’s verbatim, but I’ve tidied up the formatting a bit :-) Utterly bizarre: somebody sending e-mail to me to ask permission to send me e-mail.
Note that this crime against manners, spelling, grammar, punctuation and intelligence was perpetrated with the help of some product called Extractor Pro Bulk E-Mail Software. I want to know where I can get hold of the Amateur version.

As formal as it trys to be….it makes no sense to me. It doesn’t even give a reason why ‘Bob’ wants to email you (?).
