A real email!

A real email follows!
Date: Thu, 6 Mar 2008 22:55:13
To: "First Last" <email address>
Subject: "First", Rare Opportunity Knocks
Dear "First",
I'm very excited about this news: Andy Wibbles and Darren Rowse are teaching their blogging course again. It's been three years since they taught this course live, and since then both Andy and Darren have become even bigger names in the online world. I'm actually quite surprised that they are taking the time to teach this again.
Andy Wibbles is author of Blogwild! A Guide for Small Business Blogging (published around the world), and Darren Rowse writes Problogger which is widely acknowledged as the #1 blogging blog on the Internet."
