Earlier this year, my fellow spam enthusiast friend Mike forwarded me this absolutely fantastic spam email:
from: Thad Shook
to: Mike
date: Wed, Apr 30, 2008 at 10:35 AM
subject: Hihows life
I think it’s so nice of Thad to check in just to create honest-to-goodness dialogue! Finally, a spammer that gets it: emailing people you don’t know and telling them to buy your stuff isn’t actually very nice.
As we approach a new year, don’t make things more complicated. Keep it simple. Be kind. Reach out. Say hi to people you may not know. Think of Thad.

Thad checked in with you during April of 2008. Have you responded to him? He must be worried sick.
Actually, Thad checked in with Mike. I’m not sure if Mike ever got back to him or not.
I have a feeling isn’t worried though. I’m sure Mike isn’t the only person he emailed!
Wait, you aren’t Mike?
Who the hell is this?
What the hell did you do with Mike?
P.S.
hows life
I will have none of this tomfoolery on my blog!
Mike is lucky. I can’t remember the last time Thad cared about anything having to do with me.
