I read the 1st one I got about 6 months ago. Got one at the weekend.

Hit the bin in about a second.

Got one too, took all of 20 seconds to realise it was twaddle.... and yes I'm slow.

Yeah, my Ltd Co received one of those on Friday - I didn't even read it, it went straight in the bin.

It's certainly "different" though

Rubbish Marketing tactic (or Plan B)
Buy cheapo envelopes that look like birthday cards

Print name and address using unusual ('handwritten') font

Stick a post it on the 'cut out newspaper' with punter's fist name on it and make it sound as if it's from someone they know (yes, I know it's a cliché but punters are too thick to realise that...)

Have a bogus 'newspaper' article printed about 'rebel business owners' defying the economy because they were given some internet and networking information known only to a few, the offer includes magical CD's ("worth £295"!)

Encourage punter's to go to your website where you're pushing some rubbish newsletter (or "Inner Circle") at £40 a month.

Watch the money roll in...

A lovely comment from the 'article'...

Through no fault of their own and usually because of incompetent web designers, most business websites are a disaster zone.....

So it's all your fault...

HTH
