Spam via the mail
I'm going through the mail the other day, and in between the tons of advertisements for clothing stores and credit cards, I see a letter from India. It has a 400 Rupee stamp on it and the return address is obviously from a stamp and says "POST BOX No. 122, AJMER(INDIA)". The other side, the side that does not have the stamp, has my name, address and zip plus four, as well as a "BY SEA/PRINTED MATTER" stamp.
I open it up, curious as to what it might contain, as I no longer know anyone in India since my cousin moved back to London. Inside were four papers and an envelope. The envelope was addressed to "M. Syed Fakhar Rahman Burraqui Chisty" at the above address.
My favorite thing in the envelope was the small yellow piece of paper. On one side is some Arabic script text that I still can't make out and the other side has, well, it has this:
Why Delay on your Problems & Miseries ? If you are worldly unhappy like loss of business, not getting success in your family life by shortage of love & peace or your children misguided by your relative and enemies and not successful in Education or Driving and you suffered from disease and any type of Jadu, Tona, Bhoot Aseb not marriage of your children any suit is going on court against you, you may kindly contact me in Telephone in connection of your problems and tell me your full details. My Phone are :- 0091-145-2431849 & 0091-145-2423759 Mobile No. 0091-98290-09817. I shall do the needfull and try to solve you all problem by prayer, strong Tawiz and type of purified treatment to follow the path of Islam. as my ancestral who solved all problems of suffering people since long time through the meditation and spiritual blessings of Khwaja Gharib Nawaz (R.A). If you are ignored by children please let me know.
I was quite amused by this and for reasons I don't quite get. I might frame that little paper, too. I wonder how many times it ran through Babelfish before it came out that poor?
