Salutation Should Have Been: “Dear Desperate Sucker Newspaper,”
Here’s an email I got today. It pretty much speaks volumes about how stupid newspapers are perceived by some scammers.
I am contacting you today regarding one of our largest clients. The majority of their advertising budget is dedicated to direct newspaper placement. Normally, we run a test ad for the client, and should the ad produce a sufficient ROI, the client will continue to run indefinitely. The test ad can be any size, from a line ad to a 1/4 page to a full page ad, any day of the week that the paper runs – we would like that ad to be at no cost or very low cost to the client.
Please understand that we are interested in building a relationship with you, working with you to in order to help both organizations increase print sales.
Should you have any questions or should you have immediate space available, please contact me as soon as possible.
Thank you
Matt
