Fun With Email

[The White Coat Investor]

My email inbox is an endless treasure trove of gems. I've already written a blog post just discussing the falsehoods in one email I got this morning. Then the next one I open shows this:



No Garry, I'm pretty sure my readers would not enjoy content submitted by the marketing manager for Eazy Cash, a provider of payday loan and cash for gold services.

[Craigy]

Can I get a payday loan in gold?

If you're in the part of town with payday loan and cash-for-gold stores, then you're in the wrong part of town.

WCI, can we see a screenshot of your response?

I love that his second sentence ended with a questionmark.

I read "I really do think that your readers would enjoy this content?" with the same inflection as Ron Burgundy saying "I'm Ron Burgundy?" when they messed with his teleprompter.

I have many leatherbound books and my apartment smells of rich mahogany...

I recently read "Hillbilly Elegy" and it gave me a new perspective on these payday loan places.  While they are still probably pretty sleazy, having a loan for even a couple of days at a high rate can make all the difference in folks that are living on the edge and don't have a buffer (avoid overdraft fees, getting rent check sent in time, money for a rx).  But Rick (or is it Garry?) should look elsewhere for that audience.

I was tempted until he misspelled jewelry. Too bad.

That's great. I didn't even notice he used two different names.

You think I respond to emails like that?

I would be interested to see how many gems he has in his "unique intro." Could make for a good pro/con post.

Will paying in gold get me a better price on my whole life insurance policy?  Two great investments that go great together!  :lol:
