How NOT To Market Your Company Via Email
I received this email the other day. It's an advertisement for a painting company.

Good luck, Igor!

This one is using a gmail email address and it supposedly from the "African Development Bank." You'd think they'd have their own email address associated with their domain name. While I could certainly use the 10.5 Million dollars, I dont' think it's going to work out the way I want it to. If you feel like getting a hold of this "banker," let me know. I'll forward you the email address...
