It is a truth that...

...with weeks of starting any kind of retail business online you will start to receive emails from the indian subcontinent offering to supply whatever it is you're selling. I just got this corker:

"We are much pleased to notify your goodself that through the courtesy of our commercial resources we have been indebted of your address and have noted it with pleasure that your esteemed house is a volume consumers of the articles. It is for your kind information that we are a group of manufacturers cum exporters of Overbust Corsets, Halfbust Corsets, Undrbust Corsets, Taille Corsets, Skirts, Pants, Trousers, Jackets, Coats, Suits etc made of Satin, Silk Brocade, Cotton, Velvet, PU/PVC and soft Leather. Therefore we avail this opportunity to approach you and shall be much pleased if you will provide us a chance to serve you according to your choice and needs."

Do you think he's paid by the word to write these emails? The sex toys ones we've received are funnier still.

Anyone need a cum exporter?!

Thats a cracker!, and they wonder why some UK companies don't want to outsource web design or call centres to India? Reminds me of the Fone Jacker sketch below.

I love those kind of emails, they brighten my day! Just as a side question Tim. Where did you find the best place to source your stock? A friend only asked me yesterday about helping him start a web based shop and I have no clue about sourcing stock. P.S It's clothing but not anything as racy as yours.

They make me smile too.

Just general research on t'internet, talking to contacts in the business or even direct marketing emails like the comedy one above! Quite often one thing leads into another, and another etc.
