Hello. If you are receiving this e-mail, that means your e-mail address was contained in the address book at my old account at maddalo@aol.com I have reason to believe this account was hacked. The primary evidence for this is a number of e-mail addresses in the address book to which I have never sent anything. This leads me to believe that someone else gained access to my account, and sent something from it, to addresses which I do not recognize at all. I am therefore e-mailing every address in my address book—including those to which I have personally never sent anything—to ask whether you have received anything strange, unusual, offensive, or otherwise untoward sent from this address (maddalo@aol.com). The difficulty here is that I myself have, on occasion, sent strange, unusual, offensive and untoward e-mails with no assistance from anyone else. But if I did, in fact, send such an e-mail to you, then I’m happy to admit it. (And perhaps even to apologize for it. The reasons for my own sending strange, unusual, offensive or untoward e-mails are varied, but I’m happy to offer an explanation if you’d like one, and an apology if one is indeed merited.) However, I have no desire to explain or apologize for anything that I personally never sent and had nothing to do with sending—I’m just trying to clarify whether this did, in fact, happen. The evidence from my address book suggests that it did—but I have no evidence whatsoever of what might have been sent. America On-Line has been (unsurprisingly) of no use in helping me to determine if e-mails were sent from this account and then deleted from the outbox. Therefore I am asking for assistance from everyone in my address book—including those addresses to which I have never personally sent anything. If you received an e-mail from this account that I did not send, then I’d like to know about it. The only evidence I have is the unusual addresses in my address book, to which I have no recollection of having sent anything—therefore I have no idea of what may have been sent, or who sent it. But if you received something strange, I’d like to be informed about it. Please respond to this request via my new e-mail address, peterjustinmorris@gmail.com, or else I can be reached by telephone at USA 484 574 2568. Thank you in advance for your assistance. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
