I would be willing to spend upwards of $10 in stamps to send them a
bunch of spam junk snail mail, since they were kind enough to give an
actual street address!
Anybody got any good ideas on a letter/sales pitch we could mail? I was
thinking something like "With the latest word in annoyance technology,
our group is singularly positioned to make your life -- or at least that
of your mail room -- miserable. Isn't mass mailing great??"
Any reactions out there, or am I being snotty?
