I was just cleaning out a mailbox that I really don't use anymore. After cleaning out the inbox and junk mail box I clicked on the archives and found the only email I saved. We all probably get these in some form or other. I found this one to be hysterically egregious. I did order a gift from Edmund Scientific. Their site was hacked (unknown to me until I pressed them after this email).
