Wrong Addy or Spam?

I rec. this email last night; the email address it was sent to was very similar to mine, same name but with some punctuation. Viewing the source /properties of the mail, I found it originated from a "Blackhole server".



mike i send katherine some money for her birthday and some money for the girls also. i donot have her email address so i am telling you. i also included sydney and conner money for the stuff i ordered and pledge to do. ask katherine to please e mail so i will have her email and i can talk to her. i miss all of you very much. let me know how you are doing with your new job. your daddy was asleep the .other night when you called . he said he had taken a sleeping pill and he just could not wake up. he stated that he had not been drinking since we ate supper at 6:30. your daddy is really cutting back and i wish you and vicki would undersand that he is a really good person. and i love him. we all have our faults and he loves all of you very much. it hurts when i think you don;t want to have anything to do with him. he stated the other day that you never call and he doesn't feel right calling you because he knows you are busy. we know that you are busy and really have grown as a person and your values have changed which is good. just remember that we love you and we are very proud of you and your family / this may not be the correct way to say this but please remember that we did the best we knew at the time raising you and vicky and we have made many mistakes but we have always loved you and have always supported you in what ever you do. love you mom


I think it's meant to look like a mistake and I'm supposed to write back to them, tell 'em they got the wrong guy, but instead it will only verify that it is a working address.

I dunno. I feel sorry for 'em, though.

I'm not smart enough to realize something like this would be to find a working e-mail address. But, I do know our Mom would have never written an e-mail full of grammatical errors like that one.

Yeah, and Dad would never have taken a sleeping pill!
