[ale] FW: business letter from Beijing, China

[Stephen VanDyke]

A haiku:

Do not be vengeful.
Do not let spam anger you.
Send it to spamcop. :)

Get a free account at spamcop.net and report spam the correct way. Let their
system do the investigating for you, it takes less than a minute to past the
headers & message and click submit.

ps- no, I'm not affiliated with them, but I use their service and it
actually works to reduce UCE.
