Strange Email

---

All of my readers may not find the humor in this story as I did, but it just made me laugh so I had to post it, if for nothing else, for me and the stories I want to remember....

I get this email at work and I am not paying much attention to it because of the Russian name on the "From" line. I never tried to read the name, but assumed it was spam especially when I saw the "Dear Sir". Before I automatically delated it, I see the first words "Elinar-Broiler" so now I am curious and at least start to read it thinking it is still spam but from sales company who has our company email address based on our emails ending in @elinar-broiler.ru. I continue to read it still thinking it is junk but I am confused and curious all at the same time. I then go back to read who it is from, but still not paying attention it is Leo. When I see all the services this "company" provides, I am sort of interested in "subscribing" to the services/company, but thinking it sounds too good (and real for some of the real things that have happened to me here in Obninsk). I finally make it the company employees and bust out laughing.

Again, what made it so funny, I had no idea if it was real or spam, but am

Great Service
WOW now that is a great company, I think I have meet most of the Board Of Directors of that Company. And I would have to say they are a bunch of upstanding people. I will make sure to ask for their services if I get another chance to vist Obninsk again. Mark
