Fun with email!

Each day, I send out emails to lots of people who use the web application I work with. I try to be as clear and concise as I can be, and always offer my help in any way.

I get replies like this one.

I not know can’t find my ID number I ask, since we are SMP and not the AS program do we need to register?  Thanks Samantha [not her real name]

Seriously? You sent this email without reading it over? Or maybe you did re-read before sending it and thought it sounded ok. In that case, I really hope you didn't procreate.

All I can do with these things is laugh. And blog about them.
