Every once in awhile, something comes along that is so off-the-wall that I just have to document it here, just to share with the outside world.
In this case, a close friend and former printer industry executive, but long moved on to bigger and better adventures, passed this email along with basically a "what the ...?" reaction.
I have no idea, except if it's spam, it's far afield from the typical ones most of us at least occasionally receive. But for posterity, here's the text of the email, with the names changed to protect the innocent (or otherwise)! (BTW a Google check of the reasonably local business name revealed no such establishment, and the address appears to be that of a private home.)
