Dear Spammers,
Today I am compelled to write you in response to your repeated inquiry. I am so sorry that your many requests and offers have gone without response for so long. In case there has been any question in the past I have a couple of things to share with you:
I have no interest in Viagra no matter how low the price.
I am not looking for a Canadian drug supplier.
I appreciate the stock tips but I have my own sources of information.
I will not be sending money to get you out of the country despite the considerable reward.
I will not be sending you my user name, password or customer access for ANYTHING.
I would love to believe that I have won your lottery but for some reason I am thinking it just isn’t so.
So now we are clear I want to share something with you. Do you know what it feels like to think you are getting an email from a long lost friend only to open it and find out it was just a spammer using a clever headline? Do you know what it is like to think you are opening an email to respond to someone’s request for help only to find out it is a scam? Do you know what it is like to sort through hundreds of fraudulent, misleading email just to respond to the precious people who want to talk to you?
Well I do, and not only is it annoying and frustrating I find it sad and disheartening.
So I ask you:
Who are you being in the world that you think it is ok to make money through the deception of others? What are you selling that the only way someone will respond to your product offering is to pretend you are someone you are not?
What is your relationship to your own value and your ability to create abundance that your business is built on a lie?
How do you feel about what you are contributing to the planet and humanity?
I do not mean to sound self righteous or overly critical, I just want you to know that you have made an impact in my life.
With the writing of this blog, I declare us complete. I do not expect a response.
And I request, please, do not send me any further emails.
Thank you,
Joelle
