Some spam makes it by the various spam filters I have in place. Occasionally, one grabs my attention as obvious spam, but still I open and scan it. Here’s one that I found funny:

Hi to you USA Embassy! I’m not sure why the USA Embassy is in the USA, but hey, it’s so nice of them to write me!

I’m glad I’m the owner of the e-mail address, otherwise the USA Embassy might be ticked-off that I’m reading their message.

My consignment box is in their custody? Well, how the heck did that happen? I better comply quickly so that the delivery will be effected immediately!

FedEx Express is to deliver it? Great! I love love that company company.

$195 to get my consignment box back and so they can effect the delivery to my home address! Sweet! What a bargain!

I guess I wasn’t fast enough — as the price has already increased to $295! That’s highway robbery — just to get my consignment box back!

I see that there’s a text question and answer available. Feel free to use that if you need to today.

But, this is the real annoying part — they forgot to include the MTCN Number I need for easy pick-up!

It was so nice of Donald to write me as the public relation officer of the United State Embassy. Donny (may I call you that?), what happened to the other states? Can you unite when there’s only one?

We now return to our regularly scheduled blog posts.
