This is no time to make mistakes…

Alexei Kosut @ 6:45 pm

Today in the mail I received a letter from an agent of the New York Life Insurance Company. It begins:

Dear Mexei Kosut,

This is no time to make mistakes with your money.

Apparently it’s okay to make mistakes with other things, though. Like potential customers’ names.

  1. Hmm. Perhaps the A and L keys were broken, and they thought M a resonable substitute. Heh.

    For a long while I got college propaganda stuff addressed to Suzzane Franc Kirby. Turns out they had gotten my “name” from a list of presidential academic fitness award winners.

    When my school sent the list of qualified students to the feds for recognition, the school secretary spelled my name wrong.

  2. Maybe they like math. A plus L equals M….

  3. I actually feel for these guys. Trying to sell something that in the best case scenario the buyer actually doesn’t want to use it.
