Actually, John, this wasn't a spam letter at all. I received the same letter
from the same person (perhaps after she realized you aren't gonna answer) and
answered her, also asking who this is. She replied saying thanks a lot, and
that she ordered the sunshine house for $49, and that her name is Diana.
This is not the first mail I receive that is not signed. Many people forget
this, especially if they are young/inexperienced with lego, like Larry
mentioned. I've received two other unsigned letters, which I answered while
asking who is this. They both answered and added their name the second time.
If this seems like spam to you, so be it - but there are people out there just
trying to figure something out.
