Here's an email I got yesterday.  I thought it was pretty funny:

My name is **** ***** and I work with Lego. (a smaller company) It's my job to
go to different events, web sites, ect. to find new designs/models for the
designers to improve or take ideas from. But lets get to the point, your model
the "Q-35 Aerospace jump-jet" is very creative and would be a great addition to
the Lego collection. we have priced your model around $40.00 and are willing to
buy. We can always negotiate the price. E-mail me back even if your not

the first name in the email address, which did not match the first name signed
to the message, but the last names were all the same.

(...) I think you've mistitled this NG post: That's not the silliest email I've seen in a while, it's flat-out the most insulting and pathetic. So you've got a better sense of humor about these things than I do. :) Hm, if they offered me $40 for my (...) (23 years ago, 6-May-02, to lugnet.space)

(...) Yeah. That decimal's just about one place off. Gawd. Maybe two. That's a big honker. --Dave (jot and jab) (23 years ago, 6-May-02, to lugnet.space)
