My website requests one original email in return for additional information on packages. Over the last year I have received my share of both silly and normal emails. But today’s prize email was so great that it needed to make the blog. Without further ado, and with the author’s permission, I have the following:
“Lynn –
I heard you stopped working for Gobstoppers, and raspberry jam, which,
although upsetting, is understandable. I would like to employ your creative
eye for a session with me and my three, yes, three, crazy sisters. We need
to get some new pictures for the parents, and I think that the ol’ “Hey,
Sears does this!” won’t work for me. I need talent.
[talk of possible dates & schedules omitted]
Hoping its original enough for a laugh,
Amie”
Now, I have to admit that I almost deleted the email after the first sentence. I seriously thought it was one of those garbled spam emails that puts in random words so you open it and sit there confused. Really, when I read the first sentence I seriously thought “well, I never worked for a company called Gobstoppers!”.
Top that one suckers.
