I was looking in my spam folder
yesterday and read a new offering
Postmaster Undeliverable I shall
wait for your answer.
I have a pretty high opinion of
spam-meisters. They pay attention to optimization, and iterate along
profitable veins of babble. They are professionals.
I just think we should take all we catch and bundle them with telephone solicitors and set aside one day a week to burn them alive. Call it enhanced career advisory services.

But what the heck was this?
Postmaster undeliverable is a
good way to get a less clueful employee open the message to try to
see what was wrong. Bam! You’ve got an infection. That’s old
school.
But what was I shall wait for your
answer? Looks like a throwback to the Nigerian
Prince school of copywriting. I would have expected to see
something that could pass for my message that got returned. Or some
statement to snag my interest. Pr0n.
But I shall wait for your answer?
That wouldn’t make the grade on real copy!
If you can’t be good, at least be
instructional.

ReplyDeleteMessages from DHL, FedEx, USPS, IRS, Banks, Credit Cards - all with an urgency in the subject line are now common - but I can't recall the arrogance of the writer claiming to be waiting for my response.
Even if it were legit, I'd still have a problem with the message...is this another situation where we wonder who works for who?
