Say Hello to My Little Red Pen

I Love Spam! Especially When It Comes from Princeton Premier!

According to an e-mail I just received, I’ve been nominated for a prestigious honor shared by thousands of executives and professionals throughout the world each year, considered by many as the single highest mark of achievement, and they don’t even know my name. There was no salutation line, just this:

It is my pleasure to inform you that you are being considered for inclusion into the 2008-2009 Princeton Premier Business Leaders and Professionals Honors Edition section of the registry.

The 2008 / 2009 edition of the registry will include biographies of the world’s most accomplished individuals. Recognition of this kind is an honor shared by thousands of executives and professionals throughout the world each year. Inclusion is considered by many as the single highest mark of achievement.

You may access our application form using the following link:

Classic. I love it! So tell me, fellow bloggers (and readers), who among you has also been nominated for this prestigious honor? I’m sure there are thousands. That’s what my letter said, at least. Oh, and please respond within 5 business days. I wish you continued success.

PS – This is not the first time I have received this letter, just the first time I found it funny enough to write about it instead of just deleting it.

    Heh. I just got one. All I could think was, gee if this my “single highest mark of achievement” I’m doomed! I might as well off myself now!

    Please don’t off yourself “Premier Business Leader.” You’re too witty to die.

    I’ve been getting these for about 2 years now. Whilst I have left full time employment with the company where I 1st started receiving them, I still do some consultancy things, so I still have my e-mail address active.
    These guys took to ringing the office up to 6 times a day and were most abusive to staff who would not put their calls through to me.
    Now here’s the clanger……….these guys were calling from New York……..my office is in Wetherill Park. Where’s that I hear you ask? SYDNEY AUSTRALIA! In all they made about 60 calls before I finally took one of their calls and told them to bugger off. They want money to list you in this “quality” publication that goes into the Library of Congress (is there such a place?) and a substantial sum too.
    Just bin this trash……..oh and don’t take their calls – it must cost them a bomb.

    Too funny. I have not gotten any calls. I will be grateful for that.

    Oh yes, received the spam and got stuck with a call because work doesn’t have caller ID…sigh. The guy was a pit bull. No means no, people! UGH!

    Just received my invitation. I’m so excited that I’m going to go right home and hug my pet squid.

    I’m just waiting for their phone call! I’ve been learning how to say dirty things in multiple languages and they will give me the perfect opportunity to practice.

    Thank you Princeton Premier!!!
