It’s the last two weeks of school. So, all I’m capable of doing is copying and pasting something from an old college assignment onto my blog. Sorry. I’ll be less brain dead never.
Here’s number 2 in the Worst E-mail of 2000 Contest: (taken from Worst e-mail contest winners. (2000, January 25). TechRepublic).
Situation:A salesman didn’t impress a potential customer when he pitched his product with this e-mail.
E-mail:Dear Mr.Jones,
Looking for a siample and easy installation device you don’t have to apply another telephone line but all staff in your office could connect Internet, buy another printer server, or buy another fax sever? Looking for the CD-R’s? Look no further. Right here. We are pleased to inform you that we can provide you these products exactly what you need.
It’s a bunch of started, but not finished, thoughts. *sigh* I can so relate… Ten more days.

I just might be the only person who finds these horrible emails funny, but here is the number three worst email of 2000. Taken from: Worst e-mail contest winners. (2000, January 25). TechRepublic.

Situation:
A student sent this e-mail to his computer instructor. Should the teacher deduct points from his next exam?
E-mail:

my major is microsoft networking i expect to learn how to better maintain a PC within a home and network inviorment..
Umm, huh? Maybe while this person is learning how to better maintain a PC, he/she can also learn some keyboarding and spelling skills.
Would you look at that? Suddenly the font size is growing, and I’m pretty sure I didn’t accidentally push something. Pretty sure… Okay, now I’m laughing at myself rather than the Number 4 in the Worst Email Contest.
Teh. It’s not a word but it should be. I’ve seen it all around the internets. At first, I had no idea what it meant. Then, when I read it in context, I realized it’s ‘the.’ Now when I type ‘the’, 88% of the time, I will type ‘teh.’ And it makes me angry. At myself and at people who don’t proofread.
So to make myself feel better, I’m posting the number five in the Worst Email Contest of 2000. Why 2000? Why not 2010 or 2011? Because I only have teh (dang it!) tttthhhheee results from 2000. Here it is, number five:
