Thanks, Anonymous

I got this in my email box this morning. Whoever sent this (and you know who are), let me thank you for making my day just a little brighter.

Re: Office Problem

Hi, I hate to be the one to mention this, but people continue to talk about your weight issue and it just disgusts me. Whether you know it by now, people are always chattering about each other at work but you come up more than enough. I wasn't the happiest or best-fit up until a year ago or so but that did change. Thanks to my dam brother-in-law(of all people). Anyhow, it was for the best.

What I am saying is that you need to do something different and maybe you can make the same difference I did. Try this stuff I used. I took it on the idea it's just more junk but it worked great. I see more positive reviews on it nowadays and makes me feel even better. So, I am encouraging a change, not only in the chatter around here but in you personally.

-Anonymous for now

Using an anonymous email website to send this btw;) When it helps/works just send a memo out with the name "Angel" in it. Then you can take me out to lunch to thank you. Talk to you sooner than later I hope;)

On another note, does ANYONE fall for this anymore? - Cam Beck

You probably didn't know that we BLOG about your weight behind your back too.

Take that, fatty! :)

I am thinking of setting up my own community ... fatbloggers.com. I think it could catch on.

Yes, there are still people that fall for this type of email. I've had very intelligent clients call me up asking about similar emails.

Look at what competing domain registration companies do if a domain you own is about to expire. They issue you a pseudo-invoice in an attempt to get you to register with another registration company.
