Spam comes in various forms, some rather tedious, some just plain offensive. This, however, is one of the greatest unsolicited sales emails I’ve ever received:
Well? Have you done it yet? No of course you haven’t. So, here’s the gentle reminder you signed up for:
BUY A FUCKING SHOVEL!
Also, buy a sledge, and some grit.
Go on, buy a shovel RIGHT NOW. Just think how smug you’ll feel this winter when the Snowpocalypse inevitably takes everybody else by surprise.
Here’s a referral link to a very lovely shovel on Amazon (anything you buy through this link will earn us money towards the purchase of our own shovels):
You really should do it now, as we won’t be reminding you again (in fact by the time you read this, we’ll already have deleted your email address).
Have a great winter!
Lots of love,
Your friendly shovel-buying-reminder team.

So very, very tempting…
who ever you are about a shovel.
you are intriguing, and if this happens to be your face

then you are some kind of handsome
it’s funny, the uk, amazon says “add to basket” as for the american version it simply says, “add to cart.”
I can say I loathe being American.
But again, your mystery is alluring.
and so say mine.
Sure you didn’t buy the shovel….I hope

No Dahlia, I didn’t buy a shovel, as tempted as I was!
Hi Nathan,
Thanks for the link. However, the email wasn’t unsolicited – we sent that to everyone who signed up for the reminder on http://buyafuckingshovel.com/. You probably signed up way back in December 2010.
Cheers
