I received this fantastic email today...

I tend to receive a ton of email from off-shore companies who try to market their products to North Americans. Some of the emails are interesting, but most of them get deleted. This particular one is hilarious, I believe it's a is a classic in the making so I figured it would be a good idea to archive it here. By the way, I swear this is for real, I am not making it up.

Brilliant blog, the e-mail was hilarious but why didn't you reply? Sounds like you could have strung this one along for a while! There's a whole community devoted to telling stories to scammers. Keep 'em busy so they've got less time to hassle the gullible.
I like your products. Red. You can't go wrong with red. Yum. Shame we can't get you to design the way that Vista is going to look, cos XP is so fisher price it makes me feel like a 9 year old.
Make a pc case shaped like a Giger alien head. Please. I bet Giger'd love it.
