Suspicious and Puzzling email - HELP?!?!?

[Alan R. Barnard]

Immediately employ the Monte Python attack strategy, i.e., "Run away! Run away!"

These evil internet children-born-out-of-wedlock are getting more and more creative, able to defeat firewalls, etc. This looks like a "DELETE ME NOW" message, to me.

>Dear Mr. Barber,
>             For a long time it has been impossible to contact a piano
>technician.  Then suddenly two technicians  make contact at once,  one
>on the phone, one on the Net.   The first one, the one on the phone,
>was immediately arranged to do the work.  However, experience has
>indicated the advisability of having more than one man Please, let me

>could change the keys on a piano? One would like to have exactly
>alternate upper and lower keys from one end to the keyboard to the
>other. There would be only two shapes for the keys.  All lower keys
>would be the same shape;  and the upper keys would all be of the same
>shape, but different from the shape of the lower keys.  It would
>probably be necessary to purchase a small inexpensive piano for the
>experiment, probably a small one. Alternatively one might modify an
>electronic keyboard, but that does not seem as easy.
>           Wishing you a Happy Holiday, grateful for your response and
>hoping you will always be "on hand", Sir,  I remain,
