Gosh, it was an acheivement I really wanted.....NOT!!!

Melinda, the offer was so sincere......

"You were recently chosen as a potential candidate to represent your professional community in the new, 2012 Edition of the Executive Who's Who."

Even your smiling face was so appealing.....

But, alas, it was just a ploy!  You really only want me to verify that my email address is valid don't you!  Then you can SPAM me to your hearts content and sell my email address to other spammers.  Sorry, I can't play games with such a shallow minded individual!

What exactly do you mean.......

"Once finalized, your listing will share registry space with tens-of-thousands of fellow accomplished individuals across the globe, each representing accomplishment within their own geographical area."

.....I thought we had a relationship and you want to "share" me with tens-of-thousands of other individuals? 

I'm hurt, and frankly I am not that kind of guy!

So I have to decline your offer. 

Call me crazy I know, you are quite attractive, perhaps another time or at least buy me a drink and we can talk about it!
